__Reflection Statement:__ During the Romantic period the fight for the rights of women was a difficult endeavour.

The following quotes depict the distinct differences of opinions between the men and women of the Romantic period.

“I wish to persuade women to endeavour to acquire strength, both in mind and body.” Mary Wollstonecraft, //A Vindication of the rights of Woman// (1792)

“Women are what they were meant to be; and we wish for no alteration in their bodies or their minds.” William Hazlitt, //The Education of Women (//1815)
