In the first printed response to Edmund Burke's attacks on the principles of the French Revolution, Wollstonecraft argues powerfully against hereditary privilege and political conservatism, instead proposing codified civil rights and political liberty. This 1790 pamphlet marked Wollstonecraft's entry into the public intellectual arena and assured her place in history.
