1. Unravel Wollstonecraft's argument with Rousseau. Why does she disagree with him, and what does this have to do with the Rights of Woman?
2. What does she mean by "riches and hereditary honors have made cyphers of women?" (Matlak and Mellor 382).
3. How does Wollstonecraft incorporate Christianity into her argument for female virtue?
4. In 1995, the book The Rules was a smash hit with women (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rules). How are these "rules" similar to or different from what Wollstonecraft critiques in conduct books?
5. What are the differences between Wollstonecraft and Moore's opinions of women's rights?
6. In what ways does Edgeworth's Mrs. Freke, a "militant feminist," differ from Wollstonecraft?
