I do not wish women to have power over men but over themselvesMary Wollstonecraft A Vindication of the Rights of Women
Lottie's Lit

In A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, Mary Wollstonecraft's quote, "I do not wish women to have power over men but over themselves," encapsulates her advocacy for women's autonomy and self-determination. Wollstonecraft rejects the notion of women seeking power or dominance over men, instead arguing that true equality lies in women gaining control over their own lives, decisions, and bodies. She emphasises the importance of education, reason, and moral agency, asserting that women should be empowered to make choices based on their own rationality and desires, rather than being confined to roles dictated by societal expectations.
This statement reflects Wollstonecraft’s belief in the inherent worth and capability of women, calling for a shift in how society views their rights and potential. It challenges the patriarchal system of the time, advocating for women’s liberation through self-governance, rather than through opposition or subjugation of men.
Mary Wollstonecraft was an 18th-century British writer and early advocate for women's rights, best known for her work A Vindication of the Rights of Woman in 1792. In this, she argued that women should have the same educational and personal freedoms as men, challenging the belief that women were inherently inferior. Wollstonecraft believed in the power of reason and intellect for everyone, making her a pioneering figure in feminist thought. Despite facing criticism in her lifetime, her ideas have had a lasting impact on the fight for gender equality.
