A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

Mary Wollstonecraft .
Written in 1792, this is considered a classic of feminist history and theory.
Mary Wollstonecraft is sometimes called the "mother of feminism," because her main goal was to see women gain access to segments of society largely off-limits to them. Wollstonecraft argued primarily for the right of women to be educated, because she believed that through education would come emancipation.

All supporters and friends are welcome to join. We aim for a lively chat on political issues using the book's content as a starting point. It is relaxed and informal, so bring your festive tipples and goodies.

There is no obligation to read the book beforehand (hey, it’s a social discussion group!) so please feel free to join us even if you have not done your homework.

The book can be downloaded for free as a pdf (It is not long).

The full text is here.

This one contains help notes and a glossary

There is a free audio version on youtube (though narrated by a man), or versions on audible /Amazon. Image

You can also find the first few chapters on the Green Women podcast here.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.

GPW Book Club meets 8pm last Wednesday of each month.
