Mary Wollstonecraft, czyli oświeceniowe początki feminizmu
Mary Wollstonecraft and the Beginnings of Feminism during the Age of Enlightenment

Summary/Abstract: Mary Wollstonecraft disagrees with J. J. Rousseau and rejects the model of separate education for boys and girls. She proves that it is not the nature, but rather the education itself what shapes the characters and the behaviour of girls in such a way that they become weak and too emotional. She queries the valid feminine models, which – in her opinion – destroy both body and character of girls and women. She proposes a new model of education and upbringing, common for both sexes. She convinces that – as a result – women would not only become happier but even more useful – both for their families and the whole society.
