War Never Changes

The concept of contracts, particularly in the context of the French Revolution, served to significantly limit the scope of action and maneuverability for those involved in the tumultuous events of that era. The revolutionaries, who appeared to be driven by an overwhelming desire for change, often seemed to be propelled by sheer, unbridled rage against established laws and societal norms. This anger manifested itself in a chaotic bloodbath that swept across the nation, leading to widespread violence and upheaval. The initial fervor for reform gradually deteriorated into a corrupt system that continued to have far-reaching effects, sending ripples throughout the entire world. The consequences of this revolution did not remain confined to France they influenced various political movements and ideologies across different nations, highlighting the complex interplay between revolutionary zeal and the need for structured governance. Now, as I reflect on these historical events, I believe it is essential to analyze the implications of such a radical approach to change and its long-lasting impact on global society.

Mary Wollstonecraft was an example of a middle ground to be found between the conservative (American) and radical (French) revolutionary concepts. She wrote 𝘈 𝘝𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 in 1792, while the French Revolution was still killing people. Wollstonecraft was a 

 prominent advocate for women's rights and education, presented a critical perspective on the societal expectations placed upon women, particularly regarding their desires for "delicacy, refinement, and susceptibility of heart." She argued that these traits are often synonymous with weakness and serve to undermine the strength and capabilities of women. Wollstonecraft believed that such aspirations limit women's potential and perpetuate a cycle of dependency and subservience. In her writings, she strove to challenge those conventional notions by promoting a vision of women as rational beings deserving of the same rights and respect as men. she consciously avoids "flowery diction" in her prose, as she seeks to communicate her ideas with clarity and sincerity. By eschewing ornate language, she aims to ensure that her arguments are taken seriously and that they resonate with her audience. Her goal was  not merely to be admired for her eloquence but to be recognized as a serious thinker whose ideas choud  contribute meaningfully to discussions about gender equality and social reform. In doing so, Wollstonecraft positions  herself as a figure of respect and utility, advocating for a more profound understanding of women's roles in society.
