#OTD 1797 Mary Wollstonecraft died at the young age of 38. Radical, divisive and fiercely intelligent, in her most famous work 'A Vindication of the Rights of Woman' (1792), Wollstonecraft argued against women's subjugation and for the need for female education. We have a first edition of Wollstonecraft's Vindication on display in the library as part of 'Writing Women's Rights'. https://chawtonhouse.org/whats-on/display-writing-womens-rights/

SCCC found their Emma! Looking forward to seeing this production!

"Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich, with a comfortable home and happy disposition, seemed to unite some of the best blessings of existence; and had lived nearly twenty-one years in the world with very little to distress or vex her."

Have you ever wanted to be Emma Woodhouse? Now is your chance! The Steel City Shakespeare Center is still looking to cast their Emma. If interested, email jess.steelcityshakespeare@gmail.com with a headshot and resume!
