This week we talk about Mary Wollstonecraft and her speech called “A Vindication of the Rights of Women” in response to 18th century Enlightenment (male) thinkers and philosophers who did not support female liberation. In this speech, she pushed for women to fight forced domesticity. We also talk about our obsessions of the week and do a mini recap of our Arizona trip.
