    In the late 18th century, women's lives were very restricted. They received little education focused mostly on ornamental accomplishments and had no legal or political rights. Mary Wollstonecraft wrote "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" to argue that women deserved an education equal to men's and should have the ability to be rational individuals, not mere objects defined by beauty or subservience to men. She used logic and reason to refute common beliefs that women were intellectually or physically inferior and should be limited to domestic roles.
