A new graphic biography from the award-winning creative duo Mary M. Talbot and Bryan Talbot about Mary Wollstonecraft, foundational feminist philosopher and author who spoke for the other ‘one-half of the human race’: womankind.
‘It is time to effect a revolution in female manners – time to restore to them their dignity.’
Over twenty years before her daughter, Mary Shelley, created the science fiction genre with Frankenstein, Mary Wollstonecraft’s 1792 manifesto, Vindication of the Rights of Woman, took the world by storm. Forthright and fearless, she mingled with other radical thinkers of her time and travelled widely. In the same year she published her magnum opus, she even ventured alone to Paris during the Reign of Terror.
In the Age of Revolutions, with many movements springing up to demand greater liberties for mankind, Mary Wollstonecraft spoke out for the other ‘one-half of the human race’: that of womankind.
This graphic biography of the then-controversial and now-legendary Mary Wollstonecraft comes from the creative partnership of Mary M. Talbot and Bryan Talbot, the award-winning duo behind Dotter of Her Father’s Eyes, Sally Heathcote: Suffragette, and Armed with Madness.
Ticket includes a welcome drink and a chance to view Dr Johnson’s House.
Doors open & welcome drink: 6pm
Talk starts at 6.30pm.
