Thoughts on feminism, identity and culture
First of all, my sincerest apologies for the lateness of this post. 1. Wollstonecraft As likely evidenced in seminar I am a big fan of Vindications and of Mary W. In part due to her husband’s unflattering posthumous memoire, W’s … Continue reading → Continue reading →
Wollstonecraft, the family (wo)man
I definitely liked Wollstonecraft; she made many radical and ground-breaking arguments about women in her society. Her analysis on how women have been shaped—as delicate, pleasure-producers, who are only educated for the desire of men—is right to the point of … Continue reading → Continue reading →

So in other words, there’s a lot of things I like about her. But then there’s a few things that I don’t. […] Continue reading →
The Vindications of “My blog post is not late…YES!”

One thing that I feel really strongly about with Wollstone was her argument that went along the lines of rationality and how women should stop using […] Continue reading →
