The Vindication on the Rights of Women
Prompt: Contemporary scholars view Mary Wollstonecraft as an important women’s rights advocate, but some stop short of calling her a feminist. Given this, how would you address the fact that The Vindication of the Rights of Women seems to insist that women’s rights have little to do with women as women (as opposed to wives and mothers)?
Essentially want the essay to be about how Wollstonecraft’s work insists that women rights has to do with wives and mothers because she is appealing to the readers, who are a male audience. Explain how she addresses women in the text and their need for rights generally and how she recognizes herself one of them. Explain how she appeals to her male audience in insisting fir womens rights by bringing up a wife’s role in a household and womens role as a mother.
