Question

Rousseau belived that a womens education should primarily teach her to become a better wife and mother. Do you think wollstonecraft would have reacted to his views?

Answer 1

Wollstonecraft would vehemently object to Rousseau's views.

She has written that women should be given equal access to educational opportunities as to men. She believes that to confine women in the house as a wife and mother will cause them to become frustrated and transform into tyrants over their children and servants.
