Wollstonecraft Blog #13
This reading was very complex and a difficult reading at that. Wollstonecraft seemed to be a very strong valued woman. She had strong believes about women and their role in society. Her views seemed very different from what was actually happening in her time. Her views were based around the roles and job women should have in society. Also that society forces women to be more dependent upon men. When starting to read this reading I got the feeling like this reading was similar to the Stanton reading. Wollstonecraft felt that women should know and be involved with politics and be physicians and nurses. Business was also something that Wollstonecraft felt strongly about; she felt that women should be involved in the business world. The one thing that was standing in the way of what Wollstonecraft’s thoughts and ideas for women was the lack of educational opportunities. Again this reminds me of Stanton’s reading when it comes to women’s rights and that there were not as many opportunities for women as there was for men. Men were treated differently in society as opposed to women. Over all this reading to me was hard to get a full grasp on, and it also to me was similar and had many parallels to Stanton’s reading about the rights of women. Wollstonecraft seemed like she was a very intelligent women, and her views were very interesting. Society once again had a very strong influence on men and on women at the time and it really took at toll on the choices that men and women mostly women could make.

I agree with you that this reading was very difficult. I thought you had a very good blog considering and I think this reading is very similar to Stanton’s reading as well.
I agree, too, that this reading was challenging. You did a good job explaining all of her points. Wollstonecraft discussed things that Stanton did also. You discussed the reading very clearly.
It was a tough read but it looks like you understood the general meaning of the piece. Wollstonecraft's idea on a better education for woman would be the key for better womens rights.
The reading was very tough, but you did a good job explaining what Wollstonecraft was referring to. Good Job!!
I also agree. I agree with erik in which this reading does seem similar to Stanton's reading. Good Blog
Like everyone else i agree with you that this reading was extremely difficult. However, you clearly grasped it better than i did and did a good blog.
This was an extremely difficult reading, because of the time period in which it was written. Obviously, Wollstonecraft understood, better than most, how important women are to our society.
