Mary imagined a word based on reason, we can observe that she was part of the intellectual movement “Ilustration”, also she included women in that movement.
In her writing “A Vindication of the Rights of Woman” (1972) she established the base of the modern feminism and she became one of the more popular women of that period in Europe.
In that writing she was looking to vindicate the destiny of women, trying that they participate at the public things. She proposed equal education for everybody, cause the difference between man and woman is not for biologic factors, it is because they don´t get the same education, also for cultural and social aspects. She argued that the bad education for women turn them to be a docile, weak and emotional, it doesn't permit that their get a rational thoughts and be in the same position of men.
Wollstonecraft proposed an equal and rationalist education, which gives to the women a conscious dignity and independence in front of the men.
