Not perfect....but getting better

Woman in today's society are viewed much differently than in Wollstonecraft's time. Woman were looked at as inferior to men with no rights. The saddest part about the whole issue is that woman in that time seemed to be accepting that role and not doing anything about it. On page 172, the secound paragraph Wollstonecraft says "My own sex, I hope, will excuse me , if i treat them like rational creatures, instead of flattering their fascinating graces, and viewing them as if they were in state of perpetual childhood, unable to stand alone." I believe there is a lot of sarcasim in this statement. It shows that woman need to understand that they are being treated unfairly. We have come a long way since than. Woman now have the right to not only vote, but work the same jobs as men do. I still believe that there are times still today where woman are not treated fairly in the work field and are not paid like some men would be but its definitely not like it use to be.
