À propos de ce contenu audio

 In her groundbreaking work, A Vindication of the Rights of Men (1790), Mary Wollstonecraft passionately challenges the aristocracy and champions republicanism. This powerful pamphlet emerged as a direct response to Edmund Burkes Reflections on the Revolution in France, which defended constitutional monarchy and criticized Wollstonecrafts ally, Rev Richard Price. This exchange sparked the Revolution Controversy, where Thomas Paines Rights of Man would later galvanize reformers and radicals. Wollstonecraft not only critiques monarchy and hereditary privilege but also takes aim at Burkes gendered rhetoric. With a focus on emerging middle-class values, she contrasts these ideals against the corrupt standards of the aristocracy. Drawing on Enlightenment principles, Wollstonecraft advocates for rationality and progress, reproaching Burke for clinging to tradition. As her first political work and a pivotal feminist text, this publication marks a turning point in her career and solidifies her reputation as a prominent writer.
