Written during a time of great political turmoil, social anxiety, and against the backdrop of the French Revolution, Wollstonecraft’s argument continues to challenge and inspire. This revised and expanded Third Edition is again based on the 1792 second-edition text and is accompanied by revised and expanded explanatory annotations. “Backgrounds and Contexts” is also significantly expanded and contains twenty-four works organized thematically into these groupings: “Legacies of English Radicalism,” “Education,” “Wollstonecraft’s Revolutionary Moment,” and “The Wollstonecraft Debate.” Opinions on a variety of reforms that may be compared and contrasted with Wollstonecraft’s include those by John Milton, John Locke, Mary Astell, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Hannah More, Richard Price, Edmund Burke, Maria Edgeworth, and William Godwin, among others. “Criticism” includes six seminal essays on A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Elissa S. Guralnick, Mitzi Myers, Cora Kaplan, Mary Poovey, Claudia L. Johnson, and Barbara Taylor. A Chronology of Wollstonecraft’s life and work and a Selected Bibliography are also included. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Dimensions | 13.21 x 2.54 x 21.59 cm | | Edition | Third | | Isbn 10 | 0393929744 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0393929744 | | Item Weight | 1.05 kg | | Language | English | | Print Length | 416 pages | | Publication Date | 24 July 2009 | | Publisher | W.

It is an extraordinariliy penetrating analysis of the suppression of women in many ways: the withholding of education and concentration on acquiring "accomplishments" that will please men; the blocking of any path to a means of earning their own living instead of having to depend on a husband; the closure of professions, business, politics, and any serious civic career; the corruption of imposing a focus on fashion and even hiring wet-nurses instead of nursing their own children; and most subtly, praising women for beauty, obedience, compliance, instead of for reason and virtue (a demeaning sort of praise). The result of men's domination of women is that women become "cunning" as a way of gaining control even though forced into the role of slaves. Wollstonecraft's account of the endless ways men exert and abuse power over women is penetrating and thorough. It's depressing to realize that almost all of what she says is still relevant! Her style is somewhat clogged--circulocutious, confusingly metaphoric, and often wordier than need be. But the content is so compelling that it repays patient persistence, and virtually every page opens a reader's eyes to some abuse to which he (or perhaps even she) was previously oblivious. A general reader might prefer an edition that simply reprints the text, but as always the Norton Critical Edition gives a reliable text and provides excellent notes, selections from contemporaries that show backgrounds and contexts, a selection of critical commentaries, and a chronology and bibliography. Even if a reader only dips into these materials, I think they make the volume worth the modest price. Most highly recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Valuable Reading *by on Reviewed in the United States 9 July 2020* Good quality book. A classic, and a must read. Has many fascinating ideas to discuss and think over. ## Frequently Bought Together - A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: A Norton Critical Edition (Norton Critical Editions) - The Sufferings of Young Werther: A Norton Critical Edition (Norton Critical Editions) - Frankenstein (Case Studies in Contemporary Criticism) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/180244714-a-vindication-of-the-rights-of-woman-norton-critical-editions](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/180244714-a-vindication-of-the-rights-of-woman-norton-critical-editions) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-26*
