Lo! An Amazon! The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Mary Wollstonecraft
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.Lo! An Amazon! The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Mary Wollstonecraft is another graphic biography from the creative partnership of Mary M Talbot and Bryan Talbot.
