 The backlash following Wollstonecraft's death and posthumous publication of her Memoirs impacted Hays' later work, which some scholars have called more conservative.Among these later productions is the six-volume compendium "", in which Wollstonecraft is not mentioned, although Hays had written an extensive obituary for "The Annual Necrology" shortly after Godwin's controversial "Memoirs".If Wollstonecraft was neglected through the nineteenth century, Hays and her writing received even less critical evaluation or academic attention until the twentieth-century's emerging feminist movement.
