reviewed Maria, or the Wrongs of Woman on
Mary Wollstonecraft was arguably the first English-speaking feminist. Wollstonecraft's concern for women appeared here as a dramatic tale of a woman wronged by the eighteenth century institution of marriage. This is an important work for uncovering the flaws of patriarchy.
