c. she defied the law to vote in dozens of british elections over a decade.

d. she wrote essays that inspired slaves in haiti to launch a revolution.

Explanation:

Mary Wollstonecraft's 1792 work A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is a foundational early feminist text, arguing for women's educational and social equality, which influenced late 18th-century discourse on gender roles. Options A, C, and D are incorrect: she did not focus on female enslavement, voting rights for women were not a focus of her activism in that manner, and her work was not tied to the Haitian Revolution.

Answer:

B. She wrote one of the earliest texts promoting the ideals of feminism.
