Wollstonecraft's Argument With Edmund Burke
Wollstonecraft is on the side of reason, not just reason as we'll hear, but reason. She wants politics to make sense for people who are capable of rational thought. The other connection is that in her response to Burke, but also in her other writings, she is intellectually fearless. Her book is jolting because it feels so completely fresh and it feels as though she is following her line of thought wherever it's going to take her.
