A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary WollstonecraftMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Funny how so much of what she criticised in society's expectations towards women are still so true more than 2 centuries later. She pinpoints education (or lack of) as the reason for women's seemingly inferiority in relation to men. It's a manual on education, more than anything. Often I felt it as a slap in the face for women who still choose to fit obsolete notions of what it means to be a woman. A slap in MY face for often feeling bad for being who I want to be, instead of who society thinks I should be. All in all, a very clever book, clearly with breakthrough notions that must have thoroughly shocked many men and women of her day. 100% recommended.
