We’re going way back with Mary Wollstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Women”. Written in 1792, this is one of the earliest works of feminists philosophy. We’ll be discussing how her theories changed history and how they apply today.
We encourage readers to find modern articles, novels, etc. that carry Wollstonecraft’s themes and spirit. Share your favorites with the group and bring them for discussion.
Enjoy your first cup of coffee on us!
