Thoughts on the Education of Daughters

Including a detailed biographical annotation on the life and achievements of Mary Wollstonecraft. *** The pamphlet consists of a number of short treatises indicating certain laws and principles which Mary thought needed to be more generally understood and more firmly established. Many passages show that as early as 1787 she had seriously considered the problems which in 1791 she attempted to solve. She was even then perplexed by the unfortunate situation of women of the upper classes who having received but the pretence of an education eventually become dependent on their own exertions. Her sad experience probably led her to these thoughts. Reflection upon them made her the champion of her sex. *** This landmark series presents a curated collection of the greatest non-fiction works ever written-spanning philosophy history theology science political theory economics and beyond.
