The Life and Death of Mary Wollstonecraft
Author(s): Claire Tomalin
Witty, courageous and unconventional, Mary Wollstonecraft was one of the most controversial figures of her day. She published "A Vindication of the Rights of Women", lived through the Terror in France, had an illegitimate daughter and married the philosopher William Godwin before dying in childbirth at the age of 38. Claire Tomalin's first book inaugurated a glittering career, and brought to life one of the great figures in the history of women.
