About this listen

Mary Wollstonecraft was a pioneering advocate for gender equality, blazing a trail long before many others embraced the cause. Renowned for her influential works, including “A Vindication of the Rights of Women” (1792) and “A Vindication of the Rights of Men” (1790), Wollstonecraft also explored educational themes through fiction. This particular book, crafted in the same year as her novel “Mary A Fiction” (1788) but published anonymously, employs didactic childrens stories to convey her progressive ideals. It follows the journey of two young girls—Mary, aged 15, and Caroline, aged 12—under the guidance of Mrs. Mason, who shares valuable lessons on character and behavior, covering diverse topics from compassion towards animals to the dangers of idleness, all presented without dialogue. - Summary by Larry Wilson
