About this Event

In the Age of Revolutions demanding greater liberties for mankind, Mary Wollstonecraft spoke out for the other “one-half of the human race”: that of womankind. In 1792, her manifesto, Vindication of the Rights of Woman, took the world by storm: “It is time to effect a revolution in female manners – time to restore to them their dignity”.

Forthright and fearless, she mingled with other radical thinkers of her time and travelled widely, including to Paris, alone – into the Reign of Terror.

Suitable for ages 18+

Juno Books will be selling copies of Mary and Bryan's graphic novels for signing at the event.
