Description
In Maria, Wollstonecraft pursues in fictional form themes set forth in 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman.'
Her story of a woman incarcerated in a madhouse by her abusive husband dramatizes the effect of the English marriage laws, which made women virtually the property of their husbands.
