The present essay throws light on Mary Wollstonecraft’s writing of the (French)
revolution in three of her seminal works, namely “A Vindication of the Rights of Men,” “A
Vindication of the Rights of Woman,” and “An Historical and Moral View of the French
Revolution”. It is interesting to note how the writing of the revolution becomes, in the hands of a
woman radical like Wollstonecraft, much more important than the Revolution itself. Because in
writing so, she is not only defending her own pro-revolutionary stand and criticizing her
opponents’, but also trying to voice her other private/public concerns, speak for the rights of
men and women, and establish herself as an earning professional.
