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.
