Re: the real origins of women's rights

Urk! Can't resist OT aside... One of the biggies of early feminism has got to be Mary Wollstonecraft, associate of William Blake, Wife of William Godwin, defender of the writings of Thomas Paine. Oh - and mum of Mary Shelley. "Vindication of the Rights of Women" is a really fun read, and I'm sure you can get it of Gutenburg. Recommended!

And yes, she predates Mill by a few years.

Ah, my misspent youth in an English faculty!

Re: the real origins of women's rights

Doh! Everyone got there first with all my Wollstonecraft goodies! Ah well. That's the only time the topic here has strayed into my area of expertise, and you all knew it anyway. Bugger.
