Mary Wollstonecraft
Mary Wollstonecraft by John Opie (c. 1797), National Portrait Gallery, London.
Despite the controversial topic, the Rights of Woman received favorable reviews and was a great success. It was almost immediately released in a second edition in 1792, several American editions appeared, and it was translated into French. It was only the later revelations of her personal life that resulted in negative views towards Wollstonecraft, which persisted for over a century.
