΄She is alive and active - we hear her voice and trace her influence even now΄ Virginia Woolf. Giving voice to female independence, Mary Wollstonecraft produced her own declaration in 1792, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. With passion and courage, she attacked the promotion of passive and ornamental femininity, advocating the principles of emancipation: equal education for girls and boys, the abolishment of prejudices, and women defined by their profession and not by their partner. Mary Wollstonecraft's work elicited a mix of admiration and disapproval - a critic called her 'a hyacinthine in a skirt' - confirming her role as the mother of modern feminism.
