Detailed explanation-1: -Mary Wollstonecraft was a renowned women’s rights activist who authored A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, 1792, a classic of rationalist feminism that is considered the earliest and most important treatise advocating equality for women.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mary Wollstonecraft believed that society was wasting its assets because it kept women in the role of ‘convenient domestic slaves’, and denied them economic independence. She demanded that women should be trained for professions and careers – in medicine (not just nursing), midwifery, business, farming, shop-keeping.
Detailed explanation-3: -Wollstonecraft was the eldest of 8 children, only one of whom received a formal education. In 1784 Wollstonecraft and her sister opened a school for girls in London. Wollstonecraft’s Vindication of the Rights of Women presented a strong critique of Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s position on the education of women.
