Mary, A Fiction and The Wrongs of Woman, or Maria

by Mary Wollstonecraft, Michelle Faubert
Mary, A Fiction and The Wrongs of Woman, or Maria
Mary, A Fiction and The Wrongs of Woman, or Maria

Fierce proto-feminist fiction against patriarchal cruelty

This is a powerful read if you want fiction with real political fire behind it. Wollstonecraft turns personal suffering into a sharp, emotional critique of how women were controlled, dismissed, and trapped. Readers often come away struck by how modern its anger feels, and how boldly it gives voice to female resistance long before that was common.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Landmark novel by an early pioneer of women's rights. In this classic feminist text, the author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman expresses her egalitarian social philosophy in the form of fiction. This story of a woman imprisoned in an asylum by her abusive husband offers a powerful indictment of women's lowly status in eighteenth-century England.
