           This is a first edition copy of the final book that I wrote Maria to The Wrongs Of Woman In French. It is the sequel to A Vindication Of The Rights Of Woman. People consider it my most radical piece of feminist writing. The story revolves around a woman, Maria, who is put into an insane asylum by her husband. The Wrongs of Woman Takes inspiration from Ann Radcliffe's A Sicilian Romance. In the eighteenth century the style of this novel was called a Jacobin Novel, Because it was a philosophical novel that represented the ideas of the french revolution. I never got to finish the book so my husband published it unfinished in 1798.
