Brief Biography

Macaulay's most well-known work, Letters on Education (1790), written just one year before her death, addresses the controversial issue of women's education. Like Wollstonecraft and some of their contemporaries, Macaulay believed that men and women alike would profit if women were allowed more thorough educations. Wollstonecraft had read and quoted these letters in her own work, and the two seemed to have similar ideologies.
