Mary Wollstonecraft wrote ‘A Vindication Of The Rights Of Women’ in 1792, partly in response to the French ‘Rights of Man’ and their ‘progressive’ suggestion that women should be educated - but only until the age of eight. She makes an impassioned pleas for equality on the basis three main points: women are born with the same capacity for reason and self-government as men; virtue should have equal definitions between both sexes; and gender relations must be based on equality. The sexes are essentially similar and their relatives roles merely social constructs. Her thesis raised a storm of protest at the time, and she has come to be seen as one of the founders of modern Feminism.
