A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft
4.0
It was passionate, bold, written with the force of clear rationality and sharp observation. Mary Wollstonecraft proposed a series of arguments to the importance and right of equal education for women as rational creatures with civic duties, urging a revolution in female manner that will lead to moral improvement of all mankind.
"Make them free, and they will quickly become wise and virtuous, as men become more so; for the improvement must be mutual, or the justice which one half of the human race are obliged to submit to, retorting on their oppressors, the virtue of man will be worm-eaten by the insect whom he keeps under his feet."
