This February 2025, several of us are participating in the 30-Day Philosophy Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, we choose a quote or concept from a philosopher, past or present, and share it with others. Participating in this activity is actually sharing wisdom with others. My philosopher choice today is named MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT.
This month has opened my eyes to leaders in the past that championed ways of thinking that we accept today as the norm. Mary Wollstonecraft championed the radical idea that women were not just ornaments of society but rational beings deserving of education and equality. In A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792), she argued that denying women education kept them submissive and that true virtue required intellectual and moral development for both sexes.
Philosophy 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines
- Identify your choice of philosopher, and, if necessary, offer up a brief bio on that individual.
- If you need help here is a link to some famous philosophers
- Provide the quote or concept that is attributed to this philosopher.
- If sharing with others use the #Coach4adayChallenge
February 25th Philosopher–Mary Wollstonecraft
Feminism is a form of philosophy that certainly has Mary Wollstonecraft as pioneer.
if it is not broken don’t fix it so I’m back to using Goodreads as my source of quotes.
“I do not wish them [women] to have power over men; but over themselves.”
― Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
