Answer:
The correct answer is B) It establishes the idea that women are not the only ones who benefit from equal education
Explanation:
Wollstonecraft in his book "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" made serial arguments <em>for</em> the education of women. One of such arguments was that women and men should be educated equally across all areas of life.
She states women can and should be educated in a rational way so that they can contribute to society.
She stated that since women were tasked with raising and educating children, society will degenerate if they (women) were left uneducated. And so on the co-education of men and women, she stated since there are married people whose marriages are the adhesive that binds society together, both genders should thus be educated after those people to learn from them to the end that society's fabric is preserved.
