Answer:

D. By challenging accepted principles, Wollstonecraft was one of the first proponents of women’s rights.

Explanation:

Mary Wollstonecraft made history as the mother of Mary Shelley, Frankestein's celebrated author. But that was not his only historic mark. Still in the 18th century, the philosopher produced historical records of the French Revolution, published political and social comments (as shown in the question above) that responded to male thinkers, wrote novels and children's books that questioned the sexual and gender order, in addition to defending women's rights to education and equality in marriage. Today, 220 years after her death, Wollstonecraft is celebrated mainly as one of the founders of feminism.
