In Mary Wollstonecraft’s ‘A Vindication of the Rights of Woman’, Wollstonecraft believes that men and women have blindly obediently carried on their olden day’s expectations and reasoning of why both men and women must be, without further believing in advancement for the future. Within today’s society, there are innumerable amounts of people that are on the same side as Wollstonecraft in beliefs that we (as a society) must not conform to the beliefs our ancestors had before us; such as women only being helpful in the kitchen, men being the only source of income, and that women only believe in beauty being power.

In today’s society, some women tend to follow their made-up roles that they have to conform to 1 of 2 roles; whether it be a housewife or mistress, but seldom allow themselves to delve into greater and higher power as men. Knowledge is power, whether men or women take full advantage of it, and with that power, allows both genders to live to the absolute fullest that nature has provided for them. Although knowledge is available at the fingertips of anyone who decides to take on this challenge, women are more inclined to taking their homely position and allow their husband to rule a huge fraction of their lives, even though there is absolutely nothing wrong with taking care of the home, women should still take advantage of having something to their name to provide power in a different sense of
