## Description

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.
