Mary and the Wrongs of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft

3.0

"Why was I not born a man, or why was I born at all?"

As much as I love Mary Wollstonecraft as a person, and as much as I revere [b:A Vindication of the Rights of Woman|224387|A Vindication of the Rights of Woman|Mary Wollstonecraft|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1388191273l/224387._SY75_.jpg|1938850], I really did not enjoy studying her fiction. Both of the texts in this collection essentially ran the same: same plot, same themes, same despair on the part of all womankind. They were both a bit melodramatic and a little too lamenting for my tastes. For modern feminism's sake, I wish I could be more sympathetic, but I unfortunately didn't find much to enjoy here.
