What do Mary Wollstonecraft and Madame Roland have in common?

I noticed in one of our class sessions that one of our class mates was writing about Madame Roland–a French Revolutionary character who in some respects is very similar to my subject for the semester–Mary Wollstonecraft. I found a book that was written by Wollstonecraft’s daughter, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, wife to Romantic Poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley–Lives of The Most Eminent French Writers (Volumes 1 and 2). Madame Roland is one of the writers revered in Volume 2. Much of the commonality between the two French Revolutionary figures can discovered in Shelly’s work. Below is the link where the book can be reviewed if interested.
