Introduction. The basic Maasai political and social structure is their rigid system of age-sets (or age grades; strictly-speaking, an age-grade is a stage within the age-set).
After Wollstonecraft died in 1797, her husband William Godwin published his Memoirs of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1798). He revealed much about her private life that had previously not been known to the public: her illegitimate child, her love affairs, and her attempts at suicide.
Here, Wollstonecraft argued three things: 1  Women are born with the same capacity for reason and self-government as men. 2  Virtue should have equal definitions between men and women. 3  Relations between genders should be based on equality.
