Sobre Todo

El proceso de transformación de los roles de género ha tenido diversos puntos de quiebre a lo largo de historia, sobre todo a partir de la intensa discusión sobre los derechos del individuo que desató la Ilustración y, luego con mayor fuerza, la revolución francesa. La reivindicación de los derechos de las mujeres, imaginar y movilizarse en contra de la condición femenina de subordinación en la sociedad, fue cobrando forma con mayor fuerza desde que Olympe de Gouges y Mary Wollstonecraft tomaron la pluma.

The Individual

This chapter demonstrates how Mary Wollstonecraft (1759–97) uses feminist principles to modify and adapt the republican ideal of freedom as the absence of domination or dependence. It shows that, according to Wollstonecraft, freedom consists in the secure entitlement to act in accordance with the dictates of reason—a freedom that depends upon the possession of a certain social standing and the absence of a dominating master. Crucially, according to this chapter, freedom from domination is relational: it bestows a special status on the moral subject in relation to others. Freedom from subjugation thus gives the individual a certain empowerment, or certain entitlement, with respect to other members of society. The chapter ends by showing how Wollstonecraft takes this idea to its logical feminist conclusion: a call for the equal rights of men and women in civil society.
