Honestly, Wollstonecraft's work was an intense read. Given the context of her time, the way she writes refects the frustrations she had ( which was truly felt). The book is a testament of how far ahead she was of her time, most of her ideas and proposals are things that are now normalized.
The only qualm I had ( reading the book at a very objective view) is on her views about education and how she felt that women should be educated because they need education to raise children (this is not verbatim but a notion she made in the book), whilst that is true, for me, women should be educated because they're also human beings just as men are. They shouldnt be given education just because of their abilities to become mothers- (and this is just me giving out my thoughts)
Despite it all, Wollstonecraft's was a child of her time and I completely understand why she presented her ideas as she did. Overall she was a badass woman and she remains an exemplary custodian of feminism and why writing and getting your work ( your ideas) out there is so important.
