As we have pointed out previously, To Vindication of the Rights of Women it is a work of final of the XVIII S., however it claims some rights that alone they had had the men, that which him not it is anything usual in the time, and that they were unthinkable for the women, the most important in them, the education.
          This work is considered, to call it somehow where they are the bases of the feminism, understanding this as a movement that it looks for the equality of rights among the sexes, that which is not antonym of machismo (to have little or any consideration toward the women to consider them inferior)
         Now then, clarified this point, would dare to say that Mary Wollstonecraft neither if he/she wants he/she thinks about an equality of rights, at least completely. That that more it highlights it is the education lack in the woman, but don't unite education like the one that can have any man but to educate her to carry out their tasks." According to her a woman is not able to to be a good mother without a good education and that it is not even able to want their children, and I of course am in disagreement; for very little education that has a woman a son is always a son and the feelings are innate. It also sustains that some would rot to be able to stay for themselves, I personally would substitute that some for all.
          Along the whole rehearsal it has ended up criticizing very difficultly to those women for not being revealed and to simply be devoted to the pleasant thing, have more than enough everything sustains that their maximum concern is to stay beautiful and that very little hard beauty is and with a good education, at least the intelligence will have it forever, in this last I believe that it is in the only point on that I agree with the author.
         Another topic that he/she plays secondarily it is that of the social classes. He/she affirms that they would not owe existir  and he/she denies their foundation that the power he/she comes them from the Divinity. He/she makes successive comparisons among the woman of any social class and the men of the high class, because both, according to her, alone they are devoted to the pleasure, to enjoy, that is to say they are guided always for their senses and no  for their intelligence.
        With this critic I have not sought in any moment to minimize Mary's recoveries Wollstonecraft, because they were very advanced in their time and it could even be scandalous for some in their moment, also all are conditioned by the time in the one that we live and it is necessary to keep in mind that in the last two centuries monumental changes have taken place.
