This novel was the dawn of feminism , and a book very close to my heart .
Published in 1792.
Ms. Wollstonecraft argued that:
WOMEN SHOULD NOT SEEK POWER OVER MEN ; BUT THEMSELVES.
THEY SHOULD FIGHT FREE FROM DEGRATION OF BEING SEXUAL AND SOCIAL OBJECTS,
NOT BY OVERTURNING SOCIETY BUT BY VALUING THEMSELVES AS INDIVIDUALS WITH A RIGHT TO FULFILL THEMSELVES IN THEIR OWN WAY.
