Textual Connections with Wollstonecraft
I’ve chosen to compare Mary Wollstonecraft’s “A Vindication of the Rights of Women, and Margaret Cavendish’s “Female Orations”. There are two textual connections that I will discuss. First is that both women use a very direct approach when speaking about gender inequality. Second is that they both speak of women as a kind of property of man and that they need them.
Both women use a direct approach when discussing the inequalities of men and women. The direct approach gets the point across without pointless niceties. In “Female Orations” Cavendish doesn’t use her own voice, instead she uses different voices to project her feelings. This is her way of being direct without the words directly being her own.
