A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (New York, A. J. Matsell, 1833)

Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-97) was one of the most remarkable and fiercely independent women of her time. She wished to liberate women from the constraints of traditional roles so that they could develop—through the use of reason—their individuality. 

The Libertarianism.org Readers series provides an introduction to the major ideas and thinkers in the libertarian tradition.
