Buchzusammenfassung
Mary Wollstonecraft was an English suffragist, philosopher and writer. During her short life, she wrote novels, essays, a travel narrative, a history of the French Revolution, a book on behavior, and a children's book. With the emergence of the feminist movement at the turn of the twentieth century, Wollstonecraft's advocacy of women's equality and criticism of traditional femininity became increasingly prominent.
In order to ensure the prosperity of society, it is crucial to treat men and women equally. The belief in the inferiority of women is often due to an educational imbalance, where girls are not allowed equal access to resources and opportunities as boys.
“Friendship is a serious affection; the most sublime of all affections, because it is founded on principle, and cemented by time.”
“I love man as my fellow; but his scepter, real, or usurped, extends not to me, unless the reason of an individual demands my homage; and even then the submission is to reason, and not to man.”
“Weakness may excite tenderness, and gratify the arrogant pride of man; but the lordly caresses of a protector will not gratify a noble mind that pants for, and deserves to be respected.”
