Mary Wollstonecraft: Legacies

The Center for Women’s Studies and Gender Research will host a conference on February 23-24, 2012 to commemorate the 220th anniversary of the publication of Mary Wollstonecraft’s Vindication of the Rights of Woman, a text that has had profound influence on political modernity and on continuing discussions about feminist thought. This conference follows our inaugural conference on Simone de Beauvoir (February 10-11, 20111), and is the second in a series that will commemorate the re-reading of key feminist texts and the legacies of major feminist thinkers.

Featured presenters include Anne Mellor of UCLA, Ann Kari Lokke from UC-Davis, Wendy Gunther-Canada from UA-Birmingham, and Dan O’Neill, Sheryl Kroen, and Danaya Wright from UF.  For more information, view the detailed program of events at the Center for Women's Studies and Gender Research.

This event is sponsored by the Center for Women’s Studies and Gender Research, the Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere (Rothman Endowment), the Office of Research, the Levin College of Law, the Office of the Dean (CLAS), the Albert Brick Chair, and the Department of Political Science.
