| Abstract | ||
| Mary Wollstonecraft's Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark (1796) serves as both a travel narrative and a feminist discourse. In her account of personal travels, Wollstonecraft critiques societal issues stemming from wealth, champions women's rights, and examines the relationship between individuals and society. Through her eloquent and sublime rhetoric, she underscores the importance of personal experiences, particularly in nature, while advocating for women's education and addressing the negative impacts of commercial pursuits. This paper examines how Wollstonecraft's letters reflect her political convictions and weave her personal journey into a broader social commentary. Moreover, it discusses the text as both a travel narrative and a feminist text. | ||
