:- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Marbeth Skwarczynski -- I've been lied to. : I read this book after years of hearing that Mary Wollstonecraft's seminal work promoted a pro-woman/anti-man sentiment and a "free love" lifestyle. Nothing could be further from the truth. Wollstonecraft used biblical principles to promote the ideas of women's rights to a good education, more responsibility in the home, and the building up of the family unit, while criticizing the sexist works of Rousseau. This is a book worth reading. Repeatedly. ( Reviewed in the United States on September 9, 2018 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Nemo -- Surprisingly Coherent...though written by a woman (sarcasm) : Its nice not to have to trudge through a read. My norm seems to be expletive-laced grumbling while the last page can't come soon enough. Wollstonecraft has been a breath of fresh air. I have to admit that I went into it with bias. I've read so many male philosophers, probably because women at the time weren't taken seriously, as what happened with Wollstonecraft and the ridicule she received. I was nervous that it was going to be trite and overly emotional. It was an extraordinary blend of reason and sentiment. ( Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2015 )
- 3.0 out of 5 stars from Beverly Diehl -- Important Work, but Humorless, and Narrow : Written in the late 1790's... Life and language is very different than when this was written. I still wanted to read it, as the first feminist manifesto, but lacking the context of what life was like then, I struggled a bit. ( Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2021 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Emily Dybdahl -- This treatise inspires me to not take my rights for granted. : Mary Wollstonecraft discusses several points in this book, which all direct men, women, and society at large, to provide women with a legitimate education. I found her chapters on education itself to be interesting since she spoke of education for girls and boys. In her time period, education was problematic for both sexes. Children were sent off to boarding schools and separated by sex. Schoolmasters dealt with an overload of students leading to strict disciplinary measures designed to keep the children organized but which severely repressed their mental and emotional growth. I thought back to scenes on Dickens' novels and others of the time period where little boys and girls were bullied by the older children and by the teachers.

- 3.0 out of 5 stars from Sunniva Korsbakke -- Very beautiful copy of the book : Very beautiful copy of the book, and I very much look forward to reading it. However, nowhere on here or on the book does it mention that this book only includes extracts of Wollstonecraft's book, it is not actually the whole book. I bought this to use it for my political theory course at university, and discovered that it was useless because several chapters are missing. The Cambridge University Press edition I am now using instead is 452 pages, this one i 144. This should be clarified when buying the book. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 9, 2017 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Roman Clodia -- 'A revolution in female manners [would] reform the world' : Passionate, forceful, forthright, sharp, irritable, rigorous and oh so rational, what would Wollstonecraft think that over 200 years after her 1791 polemic we still have to argue about equal pay, body image, female aspiration, authorised social constructions of 'femininity' and 'masculinity' and other forms of politicised social and cultural inequality? ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 13, 2017 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Dr Dave. H -- I really enjoyed this book : I was intrigued by the writing style of the author (in keeping with the times, I'm sure). Her ideas were an early version of the types of battles still going on today in terms of gender inequality. You can sense her frustration at not being taken seriously simply because of her gender. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 6, 2019 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from N. B. Croad -- A Pioneering Work : Mary Wollstoncraft is pretty well spot on with her observations of men and women as they were in Regency times. If she were to come back today she would be amazed at the progress that has been made in women's rights, yet in some ways things have not changed. Men have not changed. Mary Wollstoncraft was wrong in thinking that men could be changed. There is still the glass ceiling. There are still women who actually want to be dependent on men and seem to enjoy pleasing men, and that was certainly the lot for most women right up to the Second World War. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 5, 2011 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from The Prussian Reader -- Indeed this is a great book, and Mary Wollstonecraft must have been a ... : Indeed this is a great book, and Mary Wollstonecraft must have been a truly extraordinary personality. In terms of style, I must say that I have already read more beautiful English, and also her main argument about women, that they would change their character, if they were liberated and educated, has, I believe, been refuted during the last 220 years, as women are still no more and no less frivolous and cunning today as in Wollstonecraft's time. Nevertheless, her observations about mankind generally, such as her analysis on how to acquire virtue, make her book an invaluable reading experience. I love her literary voice, and she says many things that should really be considered even, and perhaps particularly, today. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 4, 2015 )
