<p>“It would be difficult to introduce Wollstonecraft without resurrecting old arguments, but because Ayres uses a precision discussion, Mary Wollstonecraft’s faith is well opened for readers with a fresh perspective on how so much of what is relied upon as ‘knowing’ her is, in many cases, supposition or misrepresentation begun by Godwin. Ayres provides an amazing discussion of the breadth of influences that worked upon the young author then builds a remarkable argument steadily to the point, via scripture and academic scholarship, to prove that the ‘Mother of Feminism’ grounded her arguments for the equality of women in Scripture.” — <strong>Sarah E. Maier</strong>, PhD, University of New Brunswic.</p>
<p>“As a reader of Wollstonecraft, I find myself at a loss to understand her biblical references. The notes provided by Ayres make it easy to see where they come from, offer some context for them, and when needed explanation. The index of biblical references at the end will also enable further research into Wollstonecraft’s use of the Bible. This is invaluable.” — <strong>Dr. Sandrine Berges</strong>, Bilkent University, Turkey</p>
