Mary Wollstonecraft was an English writer and a passionate advocate of educational and social equality for women. She called for the betterment of women's status through such political change as the radical reform of national educational systems. Such change, she concluded, would benefit all society.
Wollstonecraft shared this conception of freedom as non‐domination with other Republicans and it played a major role in her political thought. Wollstonecraft wrote that “man is debased by servitude of any description”, because “to subjugate a rational being to the will of another…is a most cruel and undue stretch of power”.
Our nature as rational beings entitles us to liberty which, in Wollstonecraft’s words, is “the birthright of every man.”
Wollstonecraft believed in a society of equals, writing, “I do not wish women to have power over men, but over themselves”.
