"I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves."At a time when women were viewed as mere decorative ornaments or domestic servants, Mary Wollstonecraft issued a radical call for change. In A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, she challenges the educational and social systems of the 18th century that kept women in a state of "perpetual childhood."

Bold, fiery, and profoundly logical, this work laid the intellectual groundwork for the suffrage movements that would follow a century later.The Power of Education: Wollstonecrafts central argument is that the "frivolity" of women in her time was a product of a culture that only valued them for their beauty.
