Wollstone........What?

     Perhaps, after checking the name of the blog out you may have thought Wollston.....What? What is that? Or Who is that? And why has she chosen this name? Just in case it had happened to you, I am going to answer all these questions.

     Mary Wollstonecraft was her full name. She was an English writer and a revolutionary promoter of equal rights for women. Wollstonecraft called for equality and justice in both sexes within the law and education. She also claimed for women's right to parliamentary representation. She is best known for publishing A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). Mary was an inspiration for the nineteenth-century and twentieth-century women's movements. Definetly, she played an important role in the history of women's rights. Nowadays, we are luckily far more sensitive to issues of gender than before and this is partly thanks to figures such as Wollstonecraft. That is why I have chosen her name for this blog.

     I hope you enjoy it, even though I am a new blogger!
