Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

What does Wollstonecraft have to say about marriage? In her view, what would allow a woman to be a good wife and mother?

 

Mary Wollstonecraft talks largely about the role of women in society, and mocks the view of the men in her era. Society in the 18th century believed that a women’s only role was to please. But if someone cannot derive happiness through anything but pleasing others and not herself she will never really be able to please anyone to her fullest capabilities because she herself is not happy.
