★Published in 1792, it is one of the earliest works of feminist political philosophy.
★Wollstonecraft attacks the eighteenth-century belief that women should not receive a rational education.
★She argues that women must be educated as rational beings so they can be equal partners and good mothers, not ornamental half-beings.

★The short form, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, names the same work but is not its full title.
