Reviews

""Murray's book will be required reading for all scholars interested in feminism, the Enlightenment, biography, and human rights, its brilliance comprised in the original way it brings those topics together.""—Deidre Lynch, Harvard University ""In celebrating Mary Wollstonecraft as a feminist foremother, have scholars misunderstood her critical resistance to both liberal feminism and global modernity? Part historical revision, part theoretical provocation, this book takes the well-worn theme of inheritance in feminism in surprising directions."" —Robyn Wiegman, Duke University ""Mary Wollstonecraft Against Modernity will find its readers amongst those who are interested in exploring where feminism stands now, what it still promises and what it lacks as a coherent political platform."" —Christina Lupton, University of Pennsylvania
