The idea
Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, of seventeen ninety-two, argued that women only appear inferior because they lack education, and called for equality in moral responsibility and schooling. She married William Godwin and died after giving birth to Mary Shelley.
In practice
Education, reason, equality.
Where people slip
Her argument rests on reason, not feeling.
