Mary Wollstonecraft's Original Stories by Mary Wollstonecraft
"Mary Wollstonecraft's Original Stories" by Mary Wollstonecraft is a children's book first published in 1788. Two young girls, Mary and Caroline, are sent to live with the wise Mrs. Mason after their mother's death. Through stories, lessons, and real-world examples, Mrs. Mason works to cure the girls of their moral failings—greediness, vanity, and other faults—and teach them to become rational, virtuous women. The book challenges eighteenth-century assumptions about female education and champions
the power of proper childhood instruction. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
