A Vindication of the Rights of Men; A Vindication of the Rights of Woman; An Historical and Moral View of the French Revolution (Oxford World's Classics) Paperback – 11 Dec. 2008

Obviously she has experienced all the challenges, hardships of being a woman.She advocates rationality. In that sense, she is maybe more angry at women than men.She writes like she is on a crusade against all the nonsense that she thinks manufactured by men , but also against women who enjoy, surrendered to this nonsense.She lived at time of enlightenment, and American and French revolutions. In a way she can not stand while the the world is on move, women stand still.In fact prime motivation of this book is being a response to English conservative elite Edmund Burke's Reflections on French Revolution.Her writing style is incredible. She is direct, her sentences are long, ruthless against the patriarchal sacred, culture , but she has a sense of humour also,she has great examples of sarcasm.She was described as hyena in a woman's clothes.A must, and an enjoyable reading for those interested in history of feminism.

Anybody concerned with women's fight for equality should read this book. Brilliant!

As described - no problems

Read both Vindications so far and a little of Burke's major work on aesthetics (not in this book), still to read the last segmentVindication of the Rights of Men is a scathing polemic directed at Edmund Burke. Some parts were more a personal attack than a rebuttal of his arguments. Overall didn't feel as polished as her Vindication of the Rights of Women- likely due to the way it was published as per the introduction (which is clearly written and useful)Vindication of the Rights of Women was an easier read with a clearly presented argument. She directly rebukes the works of several other writers and also some more subtle mentions of Burke (though this piece doesn't concentrate on him, I feel like she considered him dealt with and just an occasional lash required to put him back in his box) Due to the age of the writing, it's obviously not in a particularly modern style so having a little contextual knowledge is very useful before reading.Worth a read for anyone looking to learn more about the views of people at the time of the French Revolution and the beginning of feminism (though it wasn't called that then)Only knocked down one point because the annotations by the author of the intro are at the back of the book. I prefer them to be as footnotes rather than flicking back and forth which disrupts reading (and means you have to hold the book strangely)

Perfect item, thououghly matching description. No delays in arriving date. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Satisfied both of article and of service.

Essential for study
