This $299,999 federal Project Grant award from the National Endowment for the Humanities' Promotion of the Humanities Research program (CFDA 45.161) will fund the production of a new standard, annotated, integrated scholarly edition of Mary Wollstonecraft's "A Vindication of the Rights of Men" (1790) and "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" (1792) for publication by Oxford University Press. From 2024 to 2027, a team led by volume editor Nancy Johnson (SUNY-New Paltz) and project director/textual editor Eileen Hunt (University of Notre Dame) will use the latest digital humanities tools to create these new scholarly editions based on the second, author-corrected editions of the texts housed in Notre Dame's rare books collection. The goal is to produce the first fully annotated scholarly editions of these two seminal political treatises, which form the core of Wollstonecraft's revolutionary theory advocating for rights-based democracy regardless of gender, race, nationality, or economic status.
