Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), author and pioneering feminist, answers Edmund Burke's "Reflections on the Revolution in France" in this, her first stirring political pamphlet. In "A Vindication of the Rights of Men" (1790), Wollstonecraft refutes Burke's assertions that human liberties are an "entailed inheritance," that the alliance between church and state is necessary for civil order, and that civil authority should be restricted to men "of permanent property." Rather, liberties are rights which all human beings "inherit at their birth, as rational creatures".

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this book because I needed it for school and it was pretty cheap. However the book lacked certain contents of the book, and had many grammatical and spelling errors. I returned it, because it was not worth it and ended up using the free online version I was originally using which contained far less mistakes and had no missing content.
