In the article ” A Vindication of the Rights of Women”, Mary Wollstonecraft mentions a fact that women have\u00a0been regarded as lower status than men.\u00a0Based on this fact, she referred how this kind of idea was produced by men. After that, she\u00a0suggests\u00a0the ideal situation that women should possess to improve their social status. In particular, she especially mentions the reinforcement of mental and physical power as her solution.<\/p>\n
I especially focus on a sentence\u00a0”\u00a0I wish to persuade women to endeavor to acquire strength, both of mind and body, and to convince them that the soft phrase….”\u00a0 In this sentence, she mentions that women should get\u00a0mental and physical strength and abolish feminine characteristics such as delicacy of sentiment\u00a0.\u00a0I am really confused by this sentence because I\u00a0do not\u00a0understand the reason to give up famine characteristics.\u00a0\u00a0How does this process contribute to the realization of the improvement of women status? I understand that the feminine characteristics\u00a0is a\u00a0central cause\u00a0that women\u00a0has been scorned. However, I think the abolishment of feminine characteristics does not help the improvement of women status. This is because women has to keep their lives with suppressing essential feeling\u00a0 or idea. Even if women come to avoid the scorn from men throughout the abolishment of feminine characteristics, I do not think it is an improvement of woman status. I think the true improvement of women status can be achieved\u00a0when\u00a0women come to\u00a0have equal right with men without any suppression in terms of their feminine characteristics.<\/p>\n
