Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–1797) was a leading intellectual of the Romantic period. She lived during an age of mass print culture, and much of her working life was shaped by this context. In 1786 Wollstonecraft was introduced to the publisher Joseph Johnson, for whom she would later work, principally as a reviewer for his periodical the Analytical Review (1788–1798) and as a translator of French, Italian, and German. He, in turn, became her consistent publisher, printing both her “safer” works (novels, conduct books, children’s books), as well as her more political writing, namely, her pamphlets—the famous Vindications—which appeared in 1790 and 1792. This flourishing print culture also produced the major sources literary critics and historians now access when reconstructing her life (alongside her own letters). Chief among these primary sources is the Memoirs of the Author of the “Rights of Woman” (1798), written by her husband William Godwin and published in January 1798, 4 months after Wollstonecraft’s untimely death.
