Mary Wollstonecraft was a woman who supported feminism in a unique way during her time period. She noticed that all women are raised to just be a housewife that has completed life once they have married. Mary’s belief is that women are capable of being more than just housewives, but they don’t understand this because of the way women are taught at a young age to care more about looks rather than their education. She also explains how this restriction leaves women unhappy and cruel, because they cannot do anything else with their lives. She used children in a household as an example of how a woman’s unhappiness can affect the way she raises her kids. The views that Mary expresses are very controversial during her time period, but it is a true description of what it is like to be a woman at that time. Some of these characteristics are still being shown in our society today which makes her story so important. One of her main points that she makes is that she doesn’t want women to have more power than men but she just wants women to be equal, and to do so, Mary believes we must establish an educational system for women. This has become the basis for all equal women’s right arguments to the present day. If women had more educational opportunities, life can be more than just becoming a wife. Women should be able to create a life for themselves too. Mary makes points that are completely accurate and are still being used today. I really like her ideas and thoughts and understand why she was so influential during her time period. I wonder what kind of impact she would have during my generation, since things have changed so much?
