Or if they prefer to start a business and you think it's a good idea, support them. They should be responsible for their future. My advice? Let your kids handle their own documents to get themselves into universities or jobs. A father or mother would be stress eating because there were so many forms to fill out to get their kids into a good school or university. So many parents get easily stressed about their kids. Once you're sure your kids are in safe situations, let them look after themselves. If your children aren't used to luxuries, they survive well.

But, although she was possibly one of the most original thinkers of the Enlightenment, she is rarely taught in ‘Introduction to Philosophy’ or ‘History of Philosophy’ classes. The Vindication is typically classified as a feminist classic however, her theories can be applied well beyond the issue of women in the eighteenth century. In this book Wollstonecraft delivers a pioneering and convincing argument for equality between men and women. Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797) is perhaps best known for having written A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, published in 1792. “Moralists have unanimously agreed, that unless virtue be nursed by liberty, it will never attain due strength – and what they say of man I extend to mankind, insisting, that in all cases morals must be fixed on immutable principles and that the being cannot be termed rational or virtuous, who obeys any authority but that of reason.” – Mary Wollstonecraft SUBSCRIBE NOW Classics A Vindication of the Rights of Woman by Mary Wollstonecraft Sara Bizarro reviews a classic: Mary Wollstonecraft’s pioneering Vindication of the Rights of Woman. ![]() |
