Mary Wollstonecraft
27 April 1759 – 10 September 1797 |
The first seminar of semester 2 was based around chapter 4 of the essay entitled Vindications Of The Rights Of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft which was written in 1792. As a group we discussed how some of the ideas in her essay can be viewed by both society in the 18th century and modern day society. Women were percieved to be objects of beauty and their sole purpose in life was to marry and provide her husband with children to continue the family name. In comparison, women today are allowed to have very successful careers and are highly educated and this is accepted by society. I read the seminar paper to the rest of the group and was pleased with the feedback they gave me saying that I had managed to summarise the key points of chapter 4 very well and I hope to get a good mark for it!
