Mary Wollstonecraft's "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" is considered as the first feminist philosophical work critiquing the conventional political structure who claimed that women should receive "rational education". The key concerns as focused by Wollstonecraft are as follows:
She was very much concerned with the rights of women. She negated the thought of women receiving mere domestic education. She claimed that women are companions to men and society, not a commodity to be transported from one place to another. She demanded the basic fundamental rights for women which they deserve as being human.
Wollstonecraft was a follower of John Locke and one of Locke's major concerns that she points out is liberty or freedom. She urges the right to liberty for women and criticizing the marginalization of women.
The next major issue that she raises is that women are being made to be devoid of their reasoning ability. They are treated as merely "emotional beings". She does not neglect emotion completely but foregrounds the enlightenment for them as she feels that the reasoning faculty of women is being depressed by the lawmakers of the society.
Although the story does not refer to a special name, lets see that the place where Santiago goes fishing is the Caribbean Sea, in a town near Havana Cuba. The hut of Santiago always had proximity to the sea, due to its fishing activity it is perceived that it lived very close to the sea.
