Based on what I’ve read so far regarding Ms. Wollstonecraft’s work, I’ll see that her ideas seem very modern. My first impression of her in the introduction showed me that some of her beliefs and ideas were way ahead of her time. While I appreciate what Mary has to say regarding the rights of women and the fundamental way of thinking a man knows from birth; There is so much gray area in what she has to say. She speaks so matter of fact about objective opinions and “understood truths” that it is difficult to decipher what is worth discussing and what should be left alone as simply the opinion and thinking of one woman. Mary’s intentions with this work seem noble, but she seems to mix her own agenda too often with the larger agenda in regards to women and how they are treated. Doing this,
to me, it makes it very difficult to assess what she has to say objectively, and so I prefer to appreciate her words while I form my own opinions and keep them to myself.
