A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792) is a foundational feminist text by Mary Wollstonecraft, advocating for women's education, autonomy, and rationality. Challenging the prevailing notion of women as subordinate to men, Wollstonecraft argues that women must be treated as rational beings capable of contributing to society beyond domestic roles. Her passionate and eloquent arguments laid the groundwork for later feminist movements and remain essential reading in discussions of gender equality, human rights, and social reform.
