Portraits of Wollstonecraft, a comprehensive collection of over 100 responses to her life and work, explores her international and cross-cultural reception from the late 18th century to the early 21st century. This book challenges the persistent belief that her ideas were disregarded after the publication of her husband William Godwin's controversial Memoirs in 1798. Volume I chronicles Wollstonecraft's rise as a prominent international figure in women's rights, highlighting her life, work, and reception across Britain, Ireland, Continental Europe, North and South America, and the British Empire's former colonies. Volume II delves into Wollstonecraft's posthumous philosophical, literary, and artistic reception, particularly within modern feminist movements. It includes responses from China, Japan, and South Korea, as well as writings by notable figures such as Mary Shelley, Emma Goldman, Ruth Benedict, Virginia Woolf, Simone de Beauvoir, Betty Friedan, Susan Moller Okin, Barbara Johnson, Martha Nussbaum, and Amartya Sen, who discuss her theories of virtue, love, gender, education, and rights. Portraits of Wollstonecraft brings to light numerous forgotten accounts and images of Wollstonecraft, offering valuable insights into her life and legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1506g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 243 x 47 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350035881                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Mixed media product","offer_id":44094214635770,"sku":"9781350035881","price":455.18,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/caa1cc1084b59979caa27f36efaa5ede.jpg?v=1632192815","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/portraits-of-wollstonecraft","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
