Kdo je hodil z Mary Wollstonecraft?

Mary Wollstonecraft, britanska pisateljica, filozofinja in feministka, * 27. april 1759, Spitalfields, Anglija, † 10. september 1797, London, Anglija.

Avtorica več romanov, razprav, potopisa, zgodovinske knjige, bontona in knjige za otroke je znana predvsem po svojem Zagovoru pravic ženske (1792). V Zagovoru je utemeljevala tezo, da je narava ženske pravzaprav posledica napačne vzgoje, ki so jo ženskam naložili moški. Zavzemala se je tudi za družbeno ureditev na temelju razuma in brez predsodkov.

Wollstonecraftova se je poročila s filozofom Williamom Godwinom, enim izmed očetov anarhističnega gibanja, in je bila mati Mary Shelley, avtorice Frankensteina.

Gilbert Imlay (February 9, 1754 – November 20, 1828) was an American businessman, writer, and diplomat.

He served in the U.S. embassy to France and became one of the earliest American writers, producing two books, the influential A Topographical Description of the Western Territory of North America, and a novel, The Emigrants, both of which promoted settlement in the North American interior.

Imlay was known in his day as a shrewd but unscrupulous businessman involved in land speculation in Virginia. However, he is best known in the modern era for his brief affair with English feminist writer Mary Wollstonecraft, which resulted in the birth of a daughter, Fanny Imlay.
