Not only did Mary #Wollstonecraft visit Ireland and like it, she was an important influence on #DanielOConnell

A liberal who corresponded with Jeremy #Bentham for a time and tirelessly campaigned against slavery & for Catholic Emancipation, and Repeal, O'Connell sent his children to the school of Wollstonecraft's sister in Dublin.

[Wollstonecraft]'s breakthrough work "A Vindication of the Rights of Men" (1790) was ironically an attack on TCD grandee #EdmundBurke who she lambasted with a fair dose of anti-Irish sentiment and reverse sexism.

I'm looking for some readings on #Beauvoir, women's situation and bad faith, to compare to #Wollstonecraft. Any recs? I've combed through the @SDB_Studies already but may have missed something.

Re#Introduction with hashtags! I’m a #Romantodon pretending to be a #Victodon because I like all the #dinosaurs - I work on #Romantic writers like #Wollstonecraft, #Austen, and #Coleridge and also enjoy #Gothic fiction and #ChildrensLiterature - currently I’m working on taking #RomanticStudies from the #sublime to the #ridiculous, as a way of thinking about crises of #nature, #society, and #childhood as #collectives rather than individuals - I still mostly toot #CatPics #CatsOfMastodon

Fun 1st job of the day was recording my bit for the #ChawtonHouse #audiobook of Mary Wollstonecraft’s brilliant 1798 novel, The Wrongs of Woman or Maria. This is a fundraiser to buy the posthumous works of #Wollstonecraft for the Library. It took me 3 takes as my guinea pigs tried to join in on first 2. Kudos to audiobook narrators. I did 5 mins. Imagine narrating Middlemarch…
