In the second paragraph of this article, it states that she had an affair with Henry Fuseli. Janet Todd's biography of Wollstonecraft indicates that she had an infatuation with him that was not returned; Lyndall Gordon suggests that reports of both the infatuation and an actual affair with Fuseli are apocryphal and thus dubious at best. There doesn't seem to be a citation in the article to support an actual affair with him--am I missing one?--Jgolight (talk) 21:54, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like her relationship with Fuseli is covered in Todd 197–198, Tomalin 151–152, Wardle 171–177, Sunstein 220–222, none of which I have checked. Kaldari (talk) 01:48, 6 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sometimes things just "creep in" and during a two year period (2014-2016) the "External links" section apparently was added to (maybe also by a bot) that results in fifteen external links. This would normally result in concerns of link farming on a lessor class article so could someone take a look at this for trimming? Otr500 (talk) 13:09, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I think there is a Spelling mistake where it says “life become” (should be “life became”). The error is in the second paragraph of the section titled “France and Gilbert Imlay”.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.171.55.108 (talk) 10:39, 14 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It says "She died eleven days after giving birth to her second daughter, Mary Shelley, who would become an accomplished writer and author of Frankenstein." However, it was not eleven days. You can look it up on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.254.61 (talk) 00:26, 22 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Wollstonecraft inspired many people because she spoke from the heart. Women were better educated and had more equal rights similar to men. Right after Mary released her book, the government didn’t agree with her or support her. However, the members of the American and European women’s movements began to start using some of the books principals.Today, Mary Wollstonecraft is remembered as one of the founding feminist philosophers. Many people have a different outlook now than they did back then on women’s rights because of Wollstone’s books. Many feminists have cited her work as important influences. Mary Wollstonecraft changed people’s outlook on women’s rights. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.182.132.75 (talk) 15:58, 7 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the second lead paragraph the article states "she argues that women are not naturally inferior to men [...] She suggests that both men and women should be treated as rational beings". To my ear the phrasing and use of present tense here seems to imply these are somehow open questions, and hence creates a WP:FALSEBALANCE. However, I'm not sure what a more appropriate phrasing may be. (Of course, it might be the case that such phrasing is standard in which case I'm happy to be gently corrected!)

1) why is this page locked against editing, in the encyclopedia anyone can edit?
2) why is her married surname missing from the first paragraph? For that matter, why is it not acknowledged in the lead paragraph that variations on spelling of the name Wollstencroft are acceptable? It is not necessary, nor advised, to try to explain the general lack of spelling standards and name standardisation in the first par, but that should at least be hinted on in a subsequent paragraph.
Note that resolving 2) may assist in reducing the rather obvious confusion with Mary Wolstencroft Shelley.
Note that resolving 1) would reduce my need to revisit this page and give you lectures on basic matters of form in construction of a supposed reference work.

The article says that Wollstonecraft made arrangements for her sister Eliza to leave her husband and infant in 1784, with her sister suffering social condemnation as a result
"... and because she could not remarry, was doomed to a life of poverty and hard work."
Historical records shows that Elizabeth migrated to New South Wales and in 1827 married Alexander Berry, the business partner of their eldest brother Edward Wollstonecraft. At the time, Wollstonecraft-Berry business interests made these partners amongst the wealthiest people in the colony of NSW.
Hi@Dank: I've been reverting obvious problems but haven't done much in terms of other ongoing maintenance, and I see Sandy suggested a couple years back that FAR might be warranted. Unfortunately she's not active atm so we might not be able to get more detail on her concerns, but to my knowledge no one has specifically been working on that.

Okay, thanks for you work, and I'm happy to hold off for now. If anyone feels like working on this, she's got a multiple-of-5-year anniversary coming up. - Dank (push to talk) 03:39, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
