I woke up November 6th and knew it was time to do what I'd been meaning to for years: record and share Mary Wollstonecraft's remarkable "A Vindication on the Rights of Women" from 1792.

Why?

Because at least three times in the first two episodes I had to restrain myself to NOT include current screenshots. THAT is how relevant this text is.

I make no promises for future restraint.

Side Lysistrata Update: @KhadijaMbowe (we'll get to Lysistrata later, but this was too good not to share now)

As usual with CraftLit Texts:

• The language is old, complex, and sometimes no-longer-used/offensive terminology (In some cases, she simply wouldn't have had other terms to use that were as precise)

• You'll need to let it wash over you - be zen about it - and suddenly you'll realize you understand it all! ——(plus, no one can see how often you have to rewind ;) just sayin'...)

• Things I thought you might want to read more about are listed in the Description Box. PLEASE ADD OTHER SOURCES in the comments!

• NEW: there are ONLY brief audio notes in this series—98% of my additions have been inserted as text on screen. • This is ONLY being released on YouTube (because of on-screen notes).
