An Amazon! The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Mary Wollstonecraft'It is time to effect a revolution in female manners – time to restore to them their dignity.'As a young woman in the spring of 1784, Wollstonecroft met Samuel Johnson and recognised in his work a like-minded spirit who believed in the intellectual equality of women and men. Over twenty years before her daughter, Mary Shelley, created the science fiction genre with Frankenstein, Mary Wollstonecraft’s 1792 manifesto, Vindication of the Rights of Woman, took the world by storm. Forthright and fearless, she mingled with other radical thinkers of her time and travelled widely. In the same year she published her magnum opus, she even ventured alone to Paris during the Reign of Terror.In the Age of Revolutions, with many movements springing up to demand greater liberties for mankind, Mary Wollstonecraft spoke out for the other 'one-half of the human race': that of womankind.This graphic biography of the then-controversial and now-legendary Mary Wollstonecraft comes from the creative partnership of Mary M.
