Desde la antigüedad, el matrimonio se caracterizaba por una marcada asimetría de poder entre marido y mujer que los pensadores consideraban natural. En este ensayo, tomando como punto de partida la crítica de Wollstonecraft a las leyes y costumbres que la regían, se analizará el pensamiento sobre esta institución de algunos ensadores del siglo XIX: Anna Wheeler, William Thompson, Robert Owen y Frances Wright, porque sus argumentos proporcionaron y proporcionan herramientas de análisis capaces de refutar prejuicios inveterados.
