First published in 1792, Wollstonecraft’s groundbreaking essay, written against the tumultuous backdrop of the French revolution, was an immediate success.

Ele busca combater o machismo, tão enraizado nas relações sociais que chega, muitas vezes, a passar despercebido e é até mesmo normalizado, submetendo as mulheres às mais diferentes formas de violência, seja por meio de agressões (verbais, psicológicas, patrimoniais e físicas), assédio sexual, silenciamento, desigualdade salarial e de oportunidades no mercado de trabalho, ou ainda pela objetificação do corpo feminino.
