British writer and philosopher Mary Wollstonecraft, one of the first pioneers for women's rights, was born in 1759 (d. 1797). Due to her groundbreaking work, "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman," Wollstonecraft is considered one of the founding feminist philosophers. In her treatise, Wollstonecraft argues that women should have access to education and that women are not naturally inferior to men but only appear to be because they lack the same education and opportunities afforded to men. As she famously asserted, "Strengthen the female mind by enlarging it, and there will be an end to blind obedience." (Painting by John Opie, c. 1797).
