Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin by Elizabeth Robins Pennell. Eminent Women Series (Famous Women Series in the US) Edited by John H. Ingram. W. H. Allen & Co. 1885.

Note: This book is ‘read as written'. It was published in 1884. It is in the public domain.

Mary Wollstonecraft is the author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), one of the earliest works of feminist philosophy. She has been called Britain’s first feminist. Her daughter Mary Shelley is the author of the novel Frankenstein (1818).

This biography was written by Elizabeth Robin Pennell. It was her first book, written before she was thirty. She was married that year to illustrator and artist Joseph Pennell. She wrote many other books: including cycling travels in Europe, art and food criticism, biographies of painter and friend: James Whistler (painter of Whistler’s Mother), folklorist and uncle: Charles Godfrey Leland, and memoirs of her London salon.
