Here is the story and questions with my <\/div>\n
responses :  Mary Wollstonecraft<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The first paragraph from A Vindication of the<\/div>\n
 Rights of Woman (1792):\u2028After considering the <\/div>\n
historic page, and viewing the living world with anxious solicitude, the most melancholy emotions of sorrowful indignation have depressed my <\/div>\n
spirits, and I have sighed when obliged to <\/div>\n
confess, that either nature has made a great <\/div>\n
difference between man and man, or that the<\/div>\n
 civilization, which has hitherto taken place in <\/div>\n
the world, has been very partial. I have turned over various books written on the subject of education, and patiently observed the conduct of parents and the management of schools; but what has been the result? a profound conviction, that the neglected education of my fellow creatures is the grand source of the misery I deplore; and that women in particular, are rendered weak and wretched by a variety of concurring causes, originating from one hasty conclusion. The conduct and manners of women prove, that their minds are not in a healthy state; for, like the flowers that are planted in too rich a soil, strength, and usefulness are sacrificed to beauty; and the flaunting leaves, after having pleased a fastidious eye, fade, disregarded on the stalk, long before the season when they ought to have arrived at maturity. One cause of this barren blooming I attribute to a false system of education, gathered from the books written on this subject by men, who, considering females rather as women than human creatures, have been more anxious to make them alluring mistresses than rational wives; and the understanding of the sex has been so bubbled by this specious homage, that the civilized women of the present century, with a few exceptions, are only anxious to inspire love when they ought to cherish a nobler ambition, and by their abilities and virtues exact respect.After reading the text above, answer the Questions for Analysis about it:1.    What is the author\u2019s main purpose?  The author’s main purpose is to argue that women have been denied proper education and that this has led to their being treated as inferior beings in society.<\/div>\n
2.    What are the major details in the text? The major details in the text include the author’s observation of the conduct and manners of women, her consideration of various books on education, her conviction that the neglected education of women is the source of their misery, and her belief that a false system of education has been propagated by men who view women as inferior<\/div>\n
 beings.<\/div>\n
3.    What are the most important questions or problems raised by the text?  The most important questions or problems raised by the text include: What is the proper education for women? How can women be empowered to become rational wives and not alluring mistresses? How can society change its views of women as inferior beings?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
4.    What is the author\u2019s most fundamental assumption?  (Another way to ask this is to ask: what led the author to write this?)   The author’s most fundamental assumption is that women have been denied proper education and that this has led to their being treated as inferior beings in society. The author was led to write this because she observed the conduct and manners of women, read various books on education, and became convinced that the neglected education of women is the source of their misery.<\/div>\n
5.    What are the text\u2019s most significant implications?  (Another way to ask this question: If we accept the author\u2019s ideas, how would this change our outlook, or if the author\u2019s ideas were broadly accepted by society, how would that change us?).    The text’s most significant implications are that women have been denied proper education and that this has led to their being treated as inferior beings in society. Furthermore, the text implies that a false system of education has been propagated by men who view women as inferior beings and that society must change its views of women for them to be treated as equals.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
