Mary Wollstonecraft was not only a writer, but she was a writer that held characteristics of a very early journalist. During her stay in France she was subject to the extreme situation of the French Revolution. She decided to stay on her job and create a first-hand account of the French Revolution. Her work was her life and it is only right that she got the respect and credit that she deserved. Her life was well recongized and respected by all those around her.

The need of education for women was one of her major concerns on the equality of women and girls. She had a talent of applying men's rights to women's situations and bringing the inequality to light. In an excerpt from A Vindication of the Rights of Woman with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects, by Wollstonecraft, she defines education, not simply as the government produced education of university, but a more general education of experiences that women are cut off from. They are not allowed to experience nearly as much as men and she sees this as a very strong injustice done to women across humankind. We still have problems with this today, in the 21st century, when it comes to what women can be, do, and experience.
