First of all this reading is very interesting because if we think about it; it was written in 1700s. Which means it been a long time since this essay was written (it’s hundreds of year ago). But no only that I was impressed to find a person with all these ideas in that time. From the reading a person can conclude that one of Wollstonecraft’s main points was woman should be free to make their own choices. Therefore if we just take this idea in to consideration I think it will explain every thing to us. Even though most of these ideas seems common sense to most of us today, but it was not the case at that time. Moreover she talked about how women can be a soldier if they choice to do so. “For when they neglect domestic duties, they have it not in their own power to take the field and march and counter-march like soldiers,” (753). Consequently that is the case in today’s where women are successful in their field and that include every field they choose. From that we can all notice that her ideas are valid and they should be enforced in every society. For one important reason which is equality all people should be equally. More then that I think women are loyal and honest while doing their job more then men. So there is no reason for women no to choose their job and do what ever they like just like everyone else.

After reading this piece of writing I to got the idea that “women should be free to make their own choices”. This is true in today’s society but there still are some cultures and religions that don’t see women as being equal.
I was also impressed that a woman of her time had ideas like this and wrote about them. Wollstonecraft had ideas that are common today, which shows how ideas from the past can still be very relevant today.
I thought you really did a good job on explaining the reading. You put in good detail and explained your point.
I thought you did a good job at expressing your own opinion on Wollstonecraft's reading and further explaing your points. nice blog
