This chapter discusses Wollstonecraft’s attitude to the body and to ways in which physical upbringing can harm or improve all aspects of life. Women’s lack of physical education, she argues, means that they grow up to become less healthy, in their bodies and in their minds. I compare Wollstonecraft’s arguments to two recent ones. The first, by philosopher of science Sharyn Clough, suggests that Wollstonecraft was quite right to attribute women’s poor heath to misguided views of femininity. The second, from Iris Marion Young, revisits Wollstonecraft’s view that women’s bodies are trained in such a way that their minds also become confined. Lastly, I turn to Wollstonecraft’s thoughts on the maternal body and on abortion.
