A New Biography
A new biography of Mary Wollstonecraft, an English writer of the 18th century, author of a famous treatise on women's rights, wife of the philosopher William Godwin and mother of Mary Shelley, author of the well-known story of Frankenstein, has recently been released in England. In the seventies the international feminist movement had as its slogan: "The personal is the political". Mary's life was, in fact, a personal fact that later became a political fact, with the character of a "mantra", a vibration in the meaning of the Indian word, a "politics" in the Western cultural meaning.
