Dr Carrie Gress traces feminism's founding anthropology back to Mary Wollstonecraft, arguing it was built on envy and contempt for men rather than a fight for equality. She shows how the movement grew out of the French Revolution and David Hume's philosophy of property, at a time when Catholic religious orders were already educating women.
