A gripping novel about the life of the first feminist, Mary Wollstonecraft. She leaves her childhood home early, escaping a tyrannical, alcoholic father, and vows never to be dependent on a man. Becoming a governess, she later writes her first book, "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman," and gains access to the intellectual circles of London through her publisher. The author skillfully portrays the image of this intelligent and successful yet lonely woman with great empathy.
