"[...] and he, still the master of his own fate, enjoys the smiles of a world, that would brand her with infamy, did she, seeking consolation, venture to retaliate."

Oh, dear Mary Wollstonecraft. Such a brilliant mind. So ahead of her time. It's a shame she never got to finish this book.

3.5/5 stars
This was quite a radical feminist text!
Since the author died before the completion of this work, it's hard to give it a higher rating, but I did quite enjoy what I read.

Even though this is an unfinished work, it should definitely be a classic!
