Wollstonecraft's Allusions

After hearing your classmates' presentations, you are well aware that Wollstonecraft has a fondness for philosophical, literary, biblical, and mythological allusions. You have to wonder how poor Rousseau felt after becoming the scapegoat of patriarchal education and expectations for women.

During tomorrow's class, we have 3 presentations left. These presentations will be exactly 4 minutes so that we may return to vocabulary, discuss Mary Godwin Shelley (she passed away on this day in 1851), and commence Frankenstein. Make sure you have ethos on Shelley -- Wikipedia is a start but not the end.
