| Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Women and The Diary of Fanny Burney both featured in our survey of nonfiction, headlined “100 books that shook the world” (New Review, last week, page 14), but we muddled the authors pictorially, displaying a picture of Burney captioned as showing Wollstonecraft. | Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Women and The Diary of Fanny Burney both featured in our survey of nonfiction, headlined “100 books that shook the world” (New Review, last week, page 14), but we muddled the authors pictorially, displaying a picture of Burney captioned as showing Wollstonecraft. |
