Mary Wollstonecraft is generally recognised as the most influential figure in the early feminist movement, but she was also an acute observer of the political upheavals of the French Revolution, in which she participated, and a zealous advocate of educational reform. After her death and through her daughter, Mary Shelley, her work became influential in shaping the Romantic movement.

Reviews
‘Her (Wollstonecraft's) multi-faceted genius as a writer is revealed in this definitive seven-volume collection of her works, published under the scrupulous editorship of Janet Todd and Marilyn Butler.’
–The Times Higher Education Supplement
‘Wollstonecraft is now finding the readers she ought to have had all along, and the change in her fortunes to which the splendid new Pickering & Chatto edition owes its being, the edition itself will help to sustain.’
– David Bromwich, The Times Literary Supplement
