A+Vindication+on+the+Rights+of+Woman

By Silvia Chacón

===Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman is a feminist text that appeals for equality among the sexes. Her work is based on egalitarianism that is the belief that we are all equal in certain grounds. Thus, with the premise that we all are equal in nature she starts criticizing the place of woman in her society. Excessive concern for romantic love and physical desirability, she believed, are not the natural conditions of female existence but rather the socially-imposed means by which male domination enslaves them. That is why her work might be considered revolutionary as she is attacking the beliefs of the time.===

=== Also, Wollstonecraft tried to reach women with her works and she accomplished it. Years later she became the inspiration for other authors and women who tried to change the inequality among women and men. Or course there would have been someone who would come out with this notion of equality at some point of history but Wollstonecraft was very clever in the way she presented her thoughts: she used a non-emotional way to convey her message. She used the essay and did not show emotions –despite her work being strongly emotional –in order to show men that women were capable of writing critically and not only emotionally. ===
