The most important piece of evidence that was presented in Chapter 17 was the rise of rights for Women. Since the Englishwoman Mary Wollstonecraft wrote one of the earliest books based on feminism, it is important to realize how finally, there was someone who was representing woman during this time. Since woman did not have many rights, this was the perfect opportunity to present these ideas to the world. Wellstone craft argues the emphasis for woman having access to proper education like men usually, no more of that natural standard. Later, when Elizabeth Stanton came on board, there was more support that leads towards a social movement. Not only was she an important figure in the suffrage movement, but she also created a new meaning to the saying that all men and woman are created equal.

What also stood out to me the most was the history behind the American Revolution. The important key points that I took away were the following: it marker a decisive political change, and it south to preserve the existing liberties of the country rather than create new ones. As in contrast, the French revolution started from scratch and recreated everything begging from social order. I also think that it is very interesting that during this time, new things were being changed such as street names, new calendar and administrative systems. It was also important to note that these two countries have influences a lot of the world today, as they are known to run pretty efficiently and in structure.
