"The Rights of Women" was published in 1792 and gave her immediate fame. She enraged classical and conservative poets like Horace Walpole who called her "a hyena in a bra". She blanched many alleged radicals, both politicians and writers and pundits of a press that was only male and conservative. Mary, in the book, violently supported the right of women to education, emancipation, liberation from a state of humiliating male servitude, stating that it was not true that men were beings with reason and women only emotions.
