I would have to say that it was a bit difficult to read “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” by Mary Wollstonecraft, primarily because of the language and diction utilized within the text. However, after reading it a few times it is astonishing to note how Wollstonecraft was such a radical thinker and a critical proponent of women’s rights. Yet, it is saddening to read about the dire situation and horrendous subjections that women had faced in the past until present day. Why did society impose such injustices on women? Is it the arrogance of men? Or the supreme but flawed logic of the authorities? Perhaps all the above have some varying degree of effects on women’s rights.
And where does education and enlightenment fit in all of this? If people were more opened-minded and enlightened, would women have to suffer through decades or centuries of inequality and abuse? Would people be so readily to accept the fact that is it fine for women to be oppressed? I would certainly state no and the world would probably be in a better state, but that is just my own naivety. Nonetheless, that is not the case throughout history and it is people like Wollstonecraft, Rousseau, Gregory and such that have served as the vanguard of the women’s rights movement. And enabling society to recognize 
their flawed rationale, which in turn abolishing some of the traditional thinking and creating a better future for both men and women.
