A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft

3.0

This was a v hard book to read. On the one hand, I understand how revolutionary it would have been at the time, and I recognize so many of her core principles in the rights of women today and those that we're still fighting for. On the other hand, she is extremely of her time and so much of what she's saying isn't relevant, or we've just moved so far past it that her arguments seem to not give women nearly enough credit or freedom. Plus, the writing style is tough, again because she was writing for an audience in 1792.

It was an Important read, but not a particularly good one, all in all.
