Reviews

“This new edition of Mary Wollstonecraft’s two vindications contextualizes these crucial works more fully than any other edition thus far. It’s exciting to see Wollstonecraft situated within so many debates of the Revolutionary nineties. The introduction is sensible and the editorial principles clearly set down. It’s a most welcome addition to the growing body of scholarship establishing Wollstonecraft as a serious political thinker.” — Mitzi Myers, University of California, Los Angeles
