Gary Kelly states about both Mary and Wrongs : “The conclusion must be that both of these novels are failures”. The Wrongs of Woman : or, Maria has often been judged harshly. Hence, Wollstonecraft can be regarded not only as the first feminist writer who provided an exceptionally comprehensive and explicit feminist program, but she is equally the first to transform gendered genres and gendered discourses for feminist purposes. Thus, a rereading of the generic aspects of Wrongs reveals that it is Wollstonecraft’s deliberate mixture of theory and fiction which allows her to transgress and subvert gendered genres that would deny women writers participation in theoretical (philosophical or political) discourses. These points of criticism are in fact the novel’s major points of interest since they contribute to making the genre of the novel suitable for voicing feminist ideas and are part of Wollstonecraft’s new discourse of feminist writing. The Wrongs of Woman : or, Maria has often been judged as a failure, as “didactic,” or “schematic.” However, such criticism misinterprets these features, as they result from Wollstonecraft’s intention to generalize and politicize the personal in theoretical form. Wollstonecraft peut donc être étudiée non seulement en tant que première écrivaine féministe ayant proposé un programme féministe fort compréhensif et explicite, mais aussi en tant qu’elle est la première à effectuer une transformation des aspects formels et du discours genré à des fins féministes. Ainsi, une relecture des aspects génériques de Wrongs révèle que l’alliage intentionnel entre la théorie et la fiction permet à Wollstonecraft de transgresser et de renverser les catégories (genres) genrées qui réfutaient la participation des femmes écrivains aux discours théoriques (philosophiques et politiques). Les critiques formulées à son égard sont en fait ce sur quoi repose l’intérêt principal du roman. Cependant, de telles critiques reflètent à la fois une mauvaise connaissance des intentions de l’auteure et une mauvaise interprétation des richesses du texte, dans lequel elle fait la généralisation et la politisation du personnel. 16, Chesnut-Street., 1799.The Wrongs of Woman : or, Maria a souvent été considéré comme un échec parce que « didactique » ou « schématique ».
