A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft

2.0

my disclaimer to begin that i didnt read all of this, just the select chapters that were set. and i cannot say that they filled me with inspiration. it is quite hard to get through. i have a feeling that the chapters set (4, 12, 13) skirt around the main argument of wollstonecraft's writing, as a piece of secondary reading i indulged in proved more fruitful in discussing matters synonymous with the work (equal franchise, equal pay etc). the section on education for women and its relevance in family life was probably the most interesting, but all in all, i cannot say that i will pick up this book again.

"but, till more equality be established in society, till ranks are confounded and women freed, we shall not see that dignified domestic happiness"
