书籍简介

玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特（Mary Wollstonecraft）在1792年写下了自己的女性独立宣言，当时，对男性权利的呼吁已经给美国和法国带来了革命。激情而直率的《为女权辩护》抨击了温顺的、装饰性的女性形象的主流观点，并提出了解放的原则：女孩和男孩接受平等的教育，结束偏见，妇女由其职业而不是其伴侣来定义。玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特的作品受到了人们的钦佩和愤慨--沃波尔称她为“穿衬衣的土狼”--但她却被确立为现代女权主义之母。

Writing in an age when the call for the rights of man had brought revolution to America and France, Mary Wollstonecraft produced her own declaration of female independence in 1792. Passionate and forthright, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman attacked the prevailing view of docile, decorative femininity, and instead laid out the principles of emancipation: an equal education for girls and boys, an end to prejudice, and for women to become defined by their profession, not their partner. Mary Wollstonecraft’s work was received with a mixture of admiration and outrage – Walpole called her ‘a hyena in petticoats’ – yet it established her as the mother of modern feminism.
