Introduction. The basic Maasai political and social structure is their rigid system of age-sets (or age grades; strictly-speaking, an age-grade is a stage within the age-set).
After Wollstonecraft died in 1797, her husband William Godwin published his Memoirs of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1798). He revealed much about her private life that had previously not been known to the public: her illegitimate child, her love affairs, and her attempts at suicide.
If you loved A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft, read Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine. Image: wollstonecraft books/w.w Norton & Company. When Mary Wollstonecraft wrote A Vindication in 1792, she did not do so as a feminist â the word hadn't even existed yet.
