Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 7 page essay/research paper that contrasts and compares the early feminism of Mary Wollstonecraft, who penned A Vindication of the Rights of Women in 1792, and Virginia Woolf who wrote A Room of One's Own in 1928. While different in context and writing style, these two writers made many of the same points, as they endeavored to write in such a manner as to break through stereotyped notions of gender and make their readers realize that society and history's norm--in regards to women--was unjust and unethical. Examination of these two texts, with particular emphasis on the chapter in Wollstonecraft's text entitled "On National Education," shows that where the authors differed, besides differing context due to having been written in different eras, was in regards to their intended reading audience in each case. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

readership of womens inherent rights, particularly towards education. Woolfs text, on the other hand, is written with the premise that she has been invited to lecture on the topic of
"Women and Fiction" and she advances on this topic with the thesis that "a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction"
(Woolf, 2002). Written for a largely female readership over a hundred years after Wollstonecraft, Woolf can afford to be more critical and also more analytical in evaluating the history
of women. Nevertheless, there are also numerous points of similarity between the arguments of the two women. Mary Wollstonecrafts 1792 book A Vindication of the Rights of Women is
