书籍简介

哈珀柯林斯 (HarperCollins) 自豪地推出一系列受喜爱的经典著作。

“我希望，如果我把她们当成理性的生物，而不是奉承她们迷人的优雅，把她们看作永远处于幼稚状态、无法独立自主的生物，我的同性会原谅我。”

在革命中，当根本的社会动荡重塑法国和美国时，作家兼哲学家玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特 (Mary Wollstonecraft) 为女性在这个新世界中占有一席之地而进行了充满激情的辩论。她在 1792 年的这篇文章中提出的要求是将女性视为值得接受理性教育、自决和与男性平等权利的人，这为现代女权主义奠定了基础。

沃斯通克拉夫特既受人钦佩又遭​​人厌恶：贺拉斯·沃波尔 (Horace Walpole) 称她为“穿着衬裙的鬣狗”，乔治·艾略特 (George Eliot) 和米利森特·福塞特 (Millicent Fawcett) 等作家和女权主义者都受到了她的启发。 《为女性权利辩护》是了解现代世界形成的关键文本。

HarperCollins is proud to present its range of best-loved, essential classics.

‘My own sex, I hope, will excuse me, if I treat them like rational creatures, instead of flattering their fascinating graces, and viewing them as if they were in a state of perpetual young life, unable to stand alone.’

In the midst of revolution, when fundamental social upheaval was reshaping France and America, writer and philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft made an impassioned argument for women to have a place in this new world. Her demands laid out in this 1792 essay, to treat women as human beings deserving of a rational education, self-determination and equal rights alongside men, laid the foundation for modern feminism.

Wollstonecraft has been admired and loathed: called a ‘hyena in petticoats’ by Horace Walpole and an inspiration to writers and feminists such as George Eliot and Millicent Fawcett. A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is a key text to understand the making of the modern world.
