Books like Mary by Mary Wollstonecraft

Name: Mary
Rating: 4 (1 reviews)
Author: Mary Wollstonecraft

This volume gathers three foundational works of 18th‑ and 19th‑century English fiction that illuminate the female experience. Wollstonecraft’s first novel, *Mary*, follows an alienated intellectual woman confronting a restrictive society. Her later post‑humous *Maria* expands on these struggles, addressing the oppression of women across classes. Mary Shelley's *Matilda* later reveals the darker implications of familial power and sexuality. Together, the novels reveal a shared concern for self‑representation, personal conflict and the broader conditions of women in early modern Britain.

First publish date: 1788
