Wollstonecraft’s main themes in her works was the equality between men and women throughout education and society. I think that she may have explored these controversial themes in her works because she had a very rocky relationship with her father, because of the abuse, and with her first partner who abandoned her after giving birth to their child. I definitely think that both societal conditions as well as her life experiences pushed her to write about these problems. Women were treated like garbage by her father, in society women were seen as dismal and less than because of their sex, and then her partner chose to abandon her in her time of need.

Mary wrote plenty of novels but her most famous was A Vindication of the Right of Woman. It was written in 1792 and talks about how women should be treated with equal dignity and respect that men have, in the sense of education. Some of her other works include A Vindication of the Rights of Man, which was written in 1790 and was a political pamphlet about the French Revolution and the merits of monarchy. Another is Letters on Sweden and Denmark which was written in 1796 and consists of 25 letters that address a range of contentious political issues.

Mary was born April 27, 1759 in Spitalfields, England. Mary’s childhood was brought up by an abusive father who spent his fortune on unsuccessful ventures in farming. Her mother ended up dying when she was 21 years old. This definitely impacted the way that she not only thought about men but also the relationships between man and woman. Mary’s career focused on advocating for educational and social equality for women. She called for the betterment of women's status through such political change. Some of her accomplishments include becoming one of the founding feminist philosphers, as well as her novel A Vindictation of the Rights of Woman. Sadly, Mary did not receive any awards in her lifetime.
