Now It Can Be Told
Mary Wollstonecraft: A Revolutionary Life
By Janet Todd
Weidenfeld & Nicolson 474pp £20 order from our bookshop
Mary Wollstonecraft turns out to have been the kind of person that gives women a bad name. A moaner, manipulative, and bossy as hell, she managed to annoy pretty much everyone with whom she came into contact. The evidence has always been there, but it is only now, after twenty-five years of ‘Girls’ Own’ history writing, that Janet Todd feels able to tell the inconvenient truth.
