Mary Wollstonecraft
Elizabeth Robins Pennell, the American writer later known for her books on art, travel and cookery, wrote this biography of Mary Wollstonecraft for a series on famous women. Relying chiefly on William Godwin's memoir of his wife and on the work of C. Kegan Paul, and reading closely in Wollstonecraft's own writings, she follows her from a troubled family life and years as a schoolmistress and governess to her career as a writer in London, the Vindication of the Rights of Woman, her time in revolutionary France, her painful relationship with Gilbert Imlay, and her marriage to Godwin shortly before her death. Pennell writes with sympathy and treats her as a serious thinker as well as a dramatic life. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
