    Mary Wollstonecraft was an Enlightenment thinker as she applied Enlightenment ideas on individual freedom to women, as well as to men.

    Explanation:

    Mary Wollstonecraft was an English philosopher and writer. Considered a leading figure in the modern world, she wrote novels, stories, essays, treatises, a travel story and a children's literature book. As an eighteenth-century woman, she was able to establish herself as a professional and independent writer in London, something unusual for the time. In her work Vindication of women's rights (1792), she argues that women are not by nature inferior to men, but appear to be because they do not receive the same education, and that men and women should be treated as rational beings. She imagined, also, a social order based on reason. With this work, she established the foundations of modern feminism and made her one of the most popular women in Europe of the time.
