Here is a very abbreviated summary of Mary’s life. They didn’t all like her, but they certainly paid attention. However, I also think that this book manages an uplifting tone by demonstrating that Mary’s life mattered, not just to her, and not just to future generations, but to all of the people who came in contact with her. Perhaps the blows were cushioned by the fact that as a Wollstonecraft fan I knew most of what lay ahead. Rather, I found myself exhilarated by all Mary did with her life, and more fond than ever of this stubborn, passionate, brilliant, frustrating woman. Further TW’S include a difficult childbirth, depression, sexism, attempted suicide, marital rape, and death of an infant.Īnd yet I did not find the book to be depressing. TW: Death from childbirth, abuse of children, implied martial rape, murder of a dog.
