The Imaginary Diaries of Mary Wollstonecraft presents a creative exploration of the formative years of a pivotal figure in the history of feminist thought. Inspired by Wollstonecraft’s genuine letters, particularly those exchanged with Jane Arden, Fanny Blood, and her sisters, along with influences from her Original Stories and numerous biographical accounts, this work imagines the diary of Mary Wollstonecraft from her time from 1771 to 1786.

The diary format allows for a deeply personal and reflective exploration of her journey, highlighting the significant influence of her family and friendships, her impactful relationship with Fanny Blood, and the culmination of her thoughts in the publication of “Thoughts on the Education of Daughters.”
