True or False? Mary Wollstonecraft was in favor of woman’s rights. The essence of her thought was that a woman’s mind is inferior to that of a man. To speak about woman’s rights was a radical act. According to Rousseau, women should be taught when they are young to fight for their rights. In 1792, women could not even ask for a divorce or own possessions. According to Mr. Lundberg, education is the most dangerous idea in her book. Wollstonecraft argues that women are born mindless. Wollstonecraft argues that the rights of “men” ought to mean of “humanity.”
