Her early advocacy of women’s equality and her attacks on conventional femininity and the degradation of women presaged the later emergence of the feminist political movement. Today, Wollstonecraft is considered a foundational thinker in feminist philosophy. She suggested that both men and women should be treated as rational beings and imagined a social order founded on reason. Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) is best known for A Vindication of the Rights of Woman in which she argued that women are not naturally inferior to men, but only appeared to be because they lacked education.
