Absolutely! Argued this in my now ancient Broadview edn. of Memoirs, co-edited with Gina Walker, so I'm unpopular too. It has always been easier to demonize Godwin than understand him. Very touching letter where he admits to an error judgement in terms of timing.

My most unpopular opinion is that Memoirs is a candid attempt by Godwin to adapt the language of (male) genius for Wollstonecraft, showing how her unique experiences shaped her radical life & revolutionary writing
