Wollstonecraft's work and thought is examined through an appreciation of Wollstonecraft herself, as a philosopher and moralist who deftly tackled major social and political issues, and the arguments of such figures as Edmund Burke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Adam Smith. Reading Wollstonecraft through the lens of the politics and culture of her own time, this book restores her to her rightful place as a major eighteenth-century thinker, reminding us why her work still resonates today.
