Summary:In 2019 Bee Rowlatt and Emma Clery came together, with Roberta Wedge, to organize “A Celebration of Mary Wollstonecraft” marking the 260th anniversary of her birth, supported by the University of Southampton and the Institute of English Studies, University of London. Bee continues to promote Wollstonecraft’s legacy via The Wollstonecraft Society, a registered educational charity campaigning for gender equality and human rights (www.wollstonecraftsociety.org). In March 2021, Emma signed a contract with Oxford University Press to serve as General Editor of a six-volume scholarly edition of the works of Mary Wollstonecraft, a project expected to run for ten years.
