A Vindication of the Rights of Men

Mary Wollstonecraft challenges Edmund Burke's views in her groundbreaking political pamphlet, asserting that human liberties are inherent rights rather than privileges tied to property or gender. She argues against the necessity of the church-state alliance for civil order and emphasizes that all individuals, regardless of their status, possess these rights from birth. This work marks a significant contribution to feminist thought and political philosophy, advocating for universal rights and equality.
