Unit 4 - "A Vindication of the Rights of Women,"

In the excerpt titled, "A Vindication of the Rights of Women," Wollstonecraft talked about the perception and even the treatment of women in a patriarchal society. She argued that women should have rights similar, if not equal to the men of her society. She even supported her issues by stating that women should not act like obedient slaves to the men of society. 
Her overall tone showed that she is mad about the treatment that women of society receive. For me, being a man, it made me feel demeaning, because personally I'm an advocate of equality. But I guess it's understandable at the time. The treatment of women back then was close to a slave and without her outraged cry, it would have never plant the seed of change.
