Meer over het boek

Focusing on women's education and societal roles, Mary Wollstonecraft's work challenges the prevailing views of her time that denied women educational opportunities. She argues for equal education, emphasizing women's crucial role in nurturing future generations and being true companions to their husbands. Rejecting the notion of women as mere decorative objects or property, Wollstonecraft advocates for recognizing women as individuals deserving of the same rights as men, laying the groundwork for feminist thought.
