Mary Wollstonecraft on 21st Century Issues
If Mary Wollstonecraft were to see the 21st century, she would of been ecstatic. The rights of women across the globe have been exponentially increased in comparison to the lack of rigths that women had during Wollstonecraft's life. The majority of countries give women equal rights as men; something which Mary fought for in her day. Though she would of been ecstatic with the rising of women's rights, she would not be so pleased with the numerous new inventions that disprove god's existence. I know for fact, a fiery woman like Wollstonecraft would put Richard Dawkins as number one on her hit list. She would be intrigued and angered by new sciences like stem cell research, and the theory evolution; she would relentlessly argue against them if she were to find herself in the 21st century.
