The writer of the Post is on granny duty in Stockholm this week so the Post is being written by the Persephone girls in Bath. And therefore we shall focus all week on Bath itself. Here is 25 Milsom Street (the house on the right of the large Victorian building, formerly a bank) across the road from the Persephone Bookshop. Mary Wollstonecraft lived here when it was the home of a Mrs Dawson, to whom Mary was, very unhappily, a companion from 1779-80. It would be twenty years before she would write A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was plotting it during those terrible walks down Milsom Street, along George Street (with the newly built Edgar Buildings across the road) or plodding up Gay Street to The Circus.
