by Mary Wollstonecraft
recording of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, by Mary Wollstonecraft. Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) is best known for A Vindication of the Rights of Woman in which she argued that women are not naturally inferior to men, but only appeared to be because they lacked education. She suggested that both men and women should be treated as rational beings and imagined a social order founded on reason.
Today, Wollstonecraft is considered a foundational thinker in feminist philosophy. Her early advocacy of women’s equality and her attacks on conventional femininity and the degradation of women presaged the later emergence of the feminist political movement. Feminist scholars and activists have cited both her philosophical ideas and personal struggles as important influences in their work.

I've been in a reading slump for months and this finally broke it. Something about A Vindication of the Rights of Woman just clicked and now I'm back to listening every day. Grateful for it.
Recommended by my colleague and I see why. The kind of book that makes you feel smarter without making you feel like you're studying. Light touch, heavy impact.
Unodio having this for free is honestly unreal. I would have paid for this without hesitation. The quality is that good.
I stumbled onto A Vindication of the Rights of Woman randomly and honestly? Best accident ever. The way Mary Wollstonecraft explains things — it just clicks. I've tried similar books and they always felt dry. This one actually kept me engaged start to finish.
