Answer 2

One of Mary Wollstonecraft's goals, as expressed in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, was to achieve equality of educational opportunities for men and women.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects (1792), written by eighteenth-century British feminist Mary Wollstonecraft, is one of the first works of feminist philosophy. In this work, Wollstonecraft responds to eighteenth-century theorists who did not believe that women needed education.

She began to write after reading the work of Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord, in which he believed that women had enough with an education to do the household.
