Maria: or, The Wrongs of Woman is the 18th-century British feminist Mary Wollstonecrafts unfinished novelistic sequel to her revolutionary political treatise A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792). The Wrongs of Woman was published posthumously in 1798 by her husband, William Godwin, and is often considered her most radical feminist work. Wollstonecrafts philosophical and gothic novel revolves around the story of woman imprisoned in an insane asylum by her husband. It focuses on the societal rather than the individual "wrongs of woman" and criticizes what Wollstonecraft viewed as the patriarchal institution of marriage in eighteenth-century Britain and the legal system that protected it.

The novel pioneered the celebration of female sexuality and cross-class identification between women. Such themes, coupled with the publication of Godwins scandalous Memoirs of Wollstonecrafts life, made the novel unpopular at the time it was published.
