Mary Wollstonecraft “On the Vindication of the Rights of Women”
In it, Wollstonecraft responds to those educational and political theorists of the eighteenth century who did not believe women should have an education. She argues that women ought to have an education commensurate with their position in society, claiming that women are essential to the nation because they educate its children and because they could be "companions" to their husbands, rather than mere wives. Instead of viewing women as ornaments to society or property to be traded in marriage, Wollstonecraft maintains that they are human beings deserving of the same fundamental rights as men
While Wollstonecraft does call for equality between man and women in particular areas of life, such as morality, she does not explicitly state that men and women are equal. Her ambiguous statements regarding the equality between them have since made it difficult to classify Wollstonecraft as a modern feminist, particularly since the word and the concept were unavailable to her
Wollstonecraft wrote the Rights of Woman hurriedly in order to respond directly to ongoing events; she intended to write a more thoughtful second volume, but she died before completing it
