# Mary Wollstonecraft

> She wrote the argument that women's inequality wasn't natural but built — a matter of education, not essence. For a century after her death, the scandal of how she lived mattered more than what she thought.

## Bio

Born in 1759, Mary Wollstonecraft built a brief, furious career across genres: novels, treatises, a history of the French Revolution, a travel narrative, a conduct book, a children's book. In 1792 she published A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, arguing that women appeared inferior only because they lacked education and proposing a social order founded on reason for both sexes. Two failed relationships — with Henry Fuseli and Gilbert Imlay, who fathered her daughter Fanny — preceded her marriage to philosopher William Godwin. She died at 38 in 1797, eleven days after giving birth to her second daughter, Mary Shelley, who would write Frankenstein. Godwin's well-meaning 1798 memoir revealed her unconventional personal life and wrecked her reputation for nearly a century, until the feminist movement reclaimed her as a founder.
