Wollstonecraft?

Wollstonecraft argues that women have been systematically miseducated to be seductive and alluring mistresses rather than rational citizens and individuals? Do you agree with her arguments applied to contemporary society? Why or why not? Do women still primarily find their strength in their appearance rather than their reason?

To some degree, Wollstonecraft's argument is still true of contemporary society. While women's movements have come a long way and there are many educated women today, a number of women still use their looks and their bodies to get ahead in the world. Once those looks fade, these women find that they have very little they can use to get through life. There is nothing wrong with looking nice, but it should not come at the expense of education and career. A balance is needed, and some women still do not see that.
