A Vindication of Women's Rights and Womanhood in... and Margaret Fuller appear as voices of vindication, as two followers of feminism. Two women separated by a century but united by the same ideals. In these male-dominated societies, these two educated women sought to assert their rights through one of the few areas in which they could display their intelligence: literature. Thus, in the 18th century we find Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Right of Women and in the 19th century Margaret Fuller's Woman in the Nineteenth Century. Two books written with the same purpose: to claim women's rights and try to create a better situation for women, but through two different points of view, the difference of a century. Since there are too many points about women's rights covered in these books, I will focus on one of these vengeful points: women's education. In this article I will show how these two women wrote about women's education from two different types of feminism, what they thought about it and how they approached this topic. During the 18th century there was little argument for civil and educational rights for women. There was more concern about racial issues than about the status and rights of women. When Mary Wollstonecraft wrote A Vindication of the Woman's Right, she sought to address this lack of civil and educational rights for women. This is a call to give equal opportunities to women. The education she promoted was a mixture of information and rational skills. It highlights the importance of educating both sexes together, something… middle of paper, not just a light version of what kids are taught. Romanticism did not define female nature only in contrast to male nature. Romanticism does not portray women as the negative counterparts of men. Fuller's feminism is also romantic because she believed that women could only be free on their own if united together but never if united with men. This difference in feminism is based on the different time in which they both live, while in the 18th century women had no rights, in the following one they began to have access to education, so now the next step was to achieve that liberation that Fuller claims in his work .
