A Vindication of Rights of Woman

From the beginning of this writing the reader can see that it was written long time ago. Who is saying phrase “My own sex will excuse me”? I think the author is opening in this phrase the idea that there should be an interesting, truly writing about gender. The old-fashioned words as fascinating graces, delicacy of sentiment, slavish dependence and other, are making this text more difficult but still interesting.

The author has a good spirit and strong personality. It is reflecting in every word, she is trying to explain that females are not the weaker gender, how men are presenting women’s personality as a weak elegancy of mind, exquisite sensibility, and sweet docility of manners. The author often uses “the weaker vessel” talking about women. She is using the vessel instead of the gender in order to show the women’s inequality more dramatically.

She is almost swearing to not to be weaker gender, she is saying: “I shall be employed about things, not words!” She is using this phrase in a right case, because all women like to talk even if there is nothing should be discussed. She is trying to become less female by saying this. This writing is “a small female revolution”. She is trying to make men see women more powerful and stronger.

The author usually shows the basic female features as sentiments and overstitched feelings, stifling the natural emotions of the heart. Those words are truly representing the female. The author is talking the facts of that time she wrote this essay. It seems like back in the history. She is talking about women’s rights, using important aspects of human’s life. It is education, marriage. She is saying exactly one phrase that makes the role of female in society more evident. The author is saying, “The only way women can rise in the world is by marriage”. It was just a fact of that time when she lived. She is writing in sarcastic way talking about married woman,”This desire making mere animals of them, when they marry they act as such children may be expected to act”. She is comparing female who wants to marry somebody to children.

The author uses word “masculinity” to represent a role of male in with life stereotypes.

Nobody doesn’t want to see masculine female, therefore, author is trying to tell the reader that there should be not masculine woman, but strong person inside. Females need to be less sensitive. Everybody is thinking about of women as an ideal person. The author shows this idea by saying “female excellence”. She doesn’t say male excellence, because there are some thoughts that male can make mistakes, be wrong, but woman cannot. Males are growing too fast. They are developing new technologies, making business. So, the point that the author makes is in the last paragraph: “let man become more chaste and modest, and if women do not grow wiser in the same ratio, it will be clear that they have weaker understandings”. It’s a really good point. What the author tried to say in this essay is that women cannot always act like a man; they have right to develop, to be perspective and competitive as a man.
