Question

In the final 4 paragraphs (beginning "the education of women..") what test does the author propose for judging the value of educating women?

Answer 1

 He says that lately it has been attended more to the education of women than formerly, but they are still ridiculed or pitied by the current authors, and even for Wollstonecraft that considers that they are only suitable for marriage or for a seraglio, and even wonders "Can they govern a family, or take care of the poor babes whom they bring into the world? " as a way to test the value of educating women.
