«Vindicación de los derechos de la mujer» is the feminist essay by Mary Wollstonecraft, published by Istmo in paperback (320 pages, in Spanish).
Written in 1792, this pioneering text argues that women should participate in the universal principles of the Enlightenment and be treated as rational beings. The author denounces that lack of education and social prejudices keep them in subordination, and demands equality, instruction and moral autonomy for a fairer society.
Volume 225 of the Fundamentos collection, edited by Marta Lois González.
Recommended for readers of political philosophy, gender studies and history of ideas, with an interest in feminist classics.
Mary Wollstonecraft was an English writer and philosopher best known for her advocacy of women's rights. Until the late twentieth century, Wollstonecraft's life, which encompassed several unconventional personal relationships, received more attention than her writing. Wollstonecraft is regarded as one of the founding feminist philosophers, and feminists often cite both her life and her works as important influences.
