First published in 1792, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman was an instant success, turning its thirty-three-year-old author into a minor celebrity. A pioneering work of early feminism that extends to women the Enlightenment principle of the rights of man, its argument remains as relevant today as it was for Woll-stonecraft's contemporaries. Mary Wollstonecraft was not the first writer to call for women to receive a real, challenging education, writes Katha Pollitt in the new Introduction. But she was the first to connect the education of women to the transformation of women's social position, of relations between the sexes, and even of society itself.
