Answer 2

The best response is Option B: A Please for Better Education for Women.

Step-by-step explanation:

The opening paragraph of her essay specifically refers to the "neglected education" of women and her belief that this must improve. Mary Wollstonecraft was an 18th-century British proto-feminist who contributed to public debate in England at the time after the French Revolution. Instead of viewing women as ornaments to society or property to be traded in marriage, Wollstonecraft made the argument that women are human beings who deserve the same rights as men. She was responding to other philosophers at the time like Talleyrand who stated that women only needed a domestic education.
