What this book is about

Mary Wollstonecraft's 1792 treatise is one of the founding texts of feminist philosophy — arguing that women's apparent inferiority is the product of inferior education, not of inferior nature, and that the reason being suppressed in women damages not only them but the whole of society. Still astonishingly readable and still, in many respects, astonishingly current.
