Description

As a monument to his love for Wollstonecraft, Godwin, as her widower chose to expose with visceral honesty the story of Wollstonecraft's life; because he loved her so much that he believed she had nothing to be ashamed of. It's easy enough to agree with him from a modern perspective, but this memoir scandalized Wollstonecraft's legacy and left her groundbreaking masterpiece "On the Vindication of the Rights of Woman", despised and unread till Virginia Woolf unearthed it over a hundred years later and dusted it off for future feminists.
