About this Quote

This quote by Mary Wollstonecraft is an effective declaration about the significance of informing females for self-reliance. She is questioning the concept of informing females to be dependent on another person, to act according to the will of another and to send to power, regardless of whether it is best or incorrect. She is asking us to think about the ramifications of this kind of education and to think of where it will lead us. She is recommending that if we continue to inform ladies in this method, it will cause a society where females are not able to make their own choices and are unable to exercise their own power. She is advocating for a society where ladies are educated to be independent and to make their own decisions, instead of to be based on another person.
