'The mother of feminism deserves her name in lights'

Bee Rowlatt has been busy supporting NGAG's Mary on the Green campaign again and has written a great article in The Times about Mary Wollstonecraft. Rowlatt describes Wollstonecraft's action-filled life as a campaigning single mother in the1700s and says

'Mary Wollstonecraft was a trailblazing troublemaker'  

Mary Wollstonecraft was a social reformer and educationist who worked very hard to change the world.
