Love and Fury

August 1797. When Mary Wollstonecraft's labour begins everything appears normal and she anticipates being back at her usual occupations before too long. However after her baby girl her second daughter is delivered both mother and child will fight for survival. In that time Mary Wollstonecraft weaves the tale of her life to bind her frail daughter close and to give herself a reason to fight even as her own strength wanes. She describes a life lived against the conventions and restrictions of her time. A life that urgently demanded equality for herself and all women. A life that tempered triumph with loss.
