Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary!
主张玛丽·沃斯通克拉夫特对社会科学和女性研究的开创性贡献应得到更充分认可,她将女性剥夺与其他社会剥夺联系起来,认为社会进步不仅靠立法,还通过教育扩展和公众参与来解决不平等与忽视问题。
It is argued here that Mary Wollstonecraft's pioneering contributions to the social sciences in general and to feminist studies in particular deserve fuller recognition. Her critiques of the leading conventional philosophers of her time, such as Edmund Burke, bring out the distinctive nature of her approach, in which the deprivation of women is linked with other social deprivations, and the roots of social progress are seen not only in legislatitive change but through societal processes involving the expansion and enrichment of basic education and more public engagement on issues of inequality and neglect.
