Ingoglia, Choice 'Packham contributes significantly to scholarship by setting Wollstonecraft's achievement in the context of various Enlightenment schools of 'political economy' … and suggests convincingly that the implications of Wollstonecraft's far-seeing critique of patriarchy and property for the study of gender, race, ethnicity and politics are legion.'
