| Summary | "Posthumous Works of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" is a literary collection published in the late 18th century, featuring unfinished writings by Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. The opening volume includes a fragment titled "The Wrongs of Woman: or, Maria," which addresses the plight of women in a patriarchal society and examines themes of maternal loss, oppression, and the quest for personal liberation. The narrative revolves around the character Maria, who is imprisoned and separated from her child, exploring her emotional turmoil and desire for freedom. At the start of the book, Maria sits in her dreary prison, overwhelmed by anguish and memories of her infant child, whose absence haunts her. The narrative quickly delves into her despair and determination to escape her confinement and unite with her child. The text is rich with emotional reflection and social criticism, highlighting the broader struggles faced by women and the injustices perpetuated by societal norms. As Maria grapples with her circumstances, she becomes increasingly aware of her oppressed status as a woman, leading her to seek not only personal freedom but also a voice against the systemic injustices faced by her gender.
