As Mary Wollstonecraft looks out over the River Thames from the front of the Houses of Parliament, we are reminded that there is no proper memorial for this remarkable woman and that she deserves one for all the ground-breaking work she did promoting human rights, women's rights and education - particularly the education of girls.
