Maria, or the Wrongs of Woman
Mary Wollstonecraft
Book Overview:
Maria: or, The Wrongs of Woman is Mary Wollstonecraft's unfinished novelistic sequel to her revolutionary political treatise A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. It was published posthumously by her husband, William Godwin. Maria revolves around the story of a woman imprisoned in an insane asylum by her husband, and focuses on the societal rather than the individual "wrongs of woman". Publicised at the same time as Wollstonecraft's memoirs, both were considered scandalous. Not until the 20th century was the novel considered an important historical and feminist work.

What I find super frustrating about this novel's rating on GR is that people are incredibly eager to shriek, "FEMINIST PROPAGANDA," when they see "Woman" in the title and open the book to find stories about working-class women being abused by men.
"All men are villains in this novel!" you cry.

And
Resulta supremamente extraño leer a una autora del siglo XVIII; aunque sólo 25 años separan a esta novela de “Orgullo y Prejuicio”, y tan solo 7 de cuando Austen empezó a escribir “Sentido y Sensibilidad”, se siente una enorme diferencia.
Decía hace unos días que leer clásicos me genera un gran apren
"[...] and he, still the master of his own fate, enjoys the smiles of a world, that would brand her with infamy, did she, seeking consolation, venture to retaliate."
Oh, dear Mary Wollstonecraft. Such a brilliant mind. So ahead of her time. It's a shame she never got to finish this book.
