Mary Wollstonecraft's urgent reply to Edmund Burke's Reflections on the Revolution in France, published anonymously in 1790. Wollstonecraft dismantles Burke's defence of hereditary privilege, tradition, and sentiment over reason, arguing that the rights of men are grounded in reason and nature — not in ancestral custom, property, or prescription.
