In Sermons to Young Women (1766), Scottish Presbyterian minister James Fordyce (1720-1796) presses the virtues and duties required of young women. This work was despised by the feminist author Mary Wollstonecraft, who addressed it in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, and it was also mentioned in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, as a book that the clergyman Mr. Collins attempts to read aloud to the women of the Bennet household.
