The Equality of Sexes
In 1790, Judith Sargent Murray published on the Equality of Sexes. It was two years before Mary Wollstone Krause's vindication of the rights of women was published in the UK. She also really thought that while women should have their own autonomy and agency in their marriages, they should always put their children first. The earlier death of her son George combined with the challenges of becoming a mother at 40 made her very focused on her own health and that of her daughter.
