To-do list:

Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
Template:Vital article
This article is written in British English with Oxford spelling (colour, realize, organization, analyse; note that -ize is used instead of -ise) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Relationship with Fuseli

In the second paragraph of this article, it states that she had an affair with Henry Fuseli. Janet Todd's biography of Wollstonecraft indicates that she had an infatuation with him that was not returned; Lyndall Gordon suggests that reports of both the infatuation and an actual affair with Fuseli are apocryphal and thus dubious at best. There doesn't seem to be a citation in the article to support an actual affair with him--am I missing one?--Jgolight (talk) 21:54, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

It looks like her relationship with Fuseli is covered in Todd 197–198, Tomalin 151–152, Wardle 171–177, Sunstein 220–222, none of which I have checked. Kaldari (talk) 01:48, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Fanny Imlay and Mary Shelley

I think that the articles on Wollstonecraft's daughters merit inclusion in the featured topic. Векочел (talk) 05:14, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

External links

Sometimes things just "creep in" and during a two year period (2014-2016) the "External links" section apparently was added to (maybe also by a bot) that results in fifteen external links. This would normally result in concerns of link farming on a lessor class article so could someone take a look at this for trimming? Otr500 (talk) 13:09, 22 April 2019 (UTC)

Spelling

I think there is a Spelling mistake where it says “life become” (should be “life became”). The error is in the second paragraph of the section titled “France and Gilbert Imlay”.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.171.55.108 (talk) 10:39, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for spotting this, I have corrected the spelling. DuncanHill (talk) 10:44, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Error at the end of the first paragraph

It says "She died eleven days after giving birth to her second daughter, Mary Shelley, who would become an accomplished writer and author of Frankenstein." However, it was not eleven days. You can look it up on Misplaced Pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.254.61 (talk) 00:26, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

Benefits for the People

Wollstonecraft inspired many people because she spoke from the heart. Women were better educated and had more equal rights similar to men. Right after Mary released her book, the government didn’t agree with her or support her. However, the members of the American and European women’s movements began to start using some of the books principals.Today, Mary Wollstonecraft is remembered as one of the founding feminist philosophers. Many people have a different outlook now than they did back then on women’s rights because of Wollstone’s books. Many feminists have cited her work as important influences. Mary Wollstonecraft changed people’s outlook on women’s rights. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.182.132.75 (talk) 15:58, 7 February 2020 (UTC)

grammatical correction

Existing text: several 'unconventional personal relationships at the time Proposed text: several personal relationships unconventional at the time Pooru-san (talk) 14:19, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

statue

The caption for the picture of the statue incorrectly labels it as a statue of Mary Wollstonecraft. It is not. Rather, it is a statue for Mary Wollstonecraft. In fact, the actual name of the statue is just that: A Sculpture for Mary Wollstonecraft. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Allthenamesarealreadytaken (talkcontribs) 07:57, 13 November 2020 (UTC)

Featured article review needed

This very old FA (2007) contains uncited text, and does not meet current WP:WIAFA standards. There are also unaddressed queries on this talk page. Unless someone is able to correct this, the article should be submitted to Featured article review. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 19:15, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
