Spamming F-lists: More fun with rampant ignorance...
All right, so I'm grading.
And then I stumble across this gem. --Y'all know how much I love the novel Pride and Prejudice, and so you'll know why my response when I read this passage was a very loud, "WHAT?!?"
“As she had to support herself early in life, Wollstonecraft strongly felt the economic and social limitations that fell especially hard on women” (Women’s Studies 83). Women could never seem to be treated the way that they should have, and both Austen and Wollstonecraft portrayed this image. Even through the marriage of all five daughters in Pride and Prejudice, none of the marriages were for love.
I'm half tempted to ask if she read the entire novel. Because, dude. Jane and Bingley? Lizzie and Darcy? WTF?
*head explodes*
