In Search of Mary - The Mother of All Journeys

In this compelling memoir, Bee Rowlatt embarks on a transformative journey to trace the life and legacy of Mary Wollstonecraft, the pioneering feminist and author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. With her toddler in tow, Rowlatt travels from the rugged coasts of Norway to the revolutionary streets of Paris, and even to a re-birthing ceremony in California. Along the way, she engages with diverse individuals—including a witch, a porn star, and a Norwegian archivist—while navigating her own challenges of balancing career and motherhood. Through this biographical treasure hunt, Rowlatt reflects on the progress and setbacks in the ongoing battle for gender equality.
