Immediate Reform
1783-Present
Actions so rash, so daring, and virtuous could not be forgotten. The war inscribed seeds of desire within women's hearts for freedom----the renewal of their brave deeds on a regular basis. The Revolutionary War produced myths to promote women's fame, and female education.
"If the abstract rights of man will bear discussion and explanation, those of women, by a parity of reasoning, will not
shrink from the same test......If women be educated for dependence; that is, to act according to the will of another fallible being, and submit, right or wrong, to power, where are we to stop?" -Mary Wollstonecraft (Source: A Vindication of Women's Rights)
