Wollenstonecraft was more radical in her thoughts when it came to education on women because Rousseau argued that a woman's nature was subservient while Wollenstonecraft argued that women are rational beings with the same fundamental natural rights as men.

For the time, Wollstonecraft was the most radical thinker on the issue of women's education because she wanted to empower women and believed that women have the ability to think rationally and intellectually but have not been given the opportunity to do so.

Compared to Rousseau, Wollstonecraft was the most radical when it came to her thoughts on the Enlightenment and her overall opinion on education for women. Rousseau used a lot of personal opinions to defend his claim, not thinking very rationally or critically. Wollstonecraft believed that women deserved an equal spot in social and educational terms compared to men, as in her eyes, the only thing truly different about them was their gender.

Compared to the work of Rousseau, Mary Wollstonecraft's essay reflects more radical modern thought on women's education as she explores the roles held in our society. Criticizing the lack of freedoms for women because of their subjugation by men. She rejects the ideology that was commonly upheld at the time; she believed that they shouldn't be educated just to serve men, they deserve autonomy.

Although both Rousseau and Wollstonecraft were influential Enlightenment thinkers who addressed women’s education, Wollstonecraft was more radical for her time because she directly challenged the belief that women were naturally inferior to men and argued that women deserved the same educational opportunities as men to become rational, independent citizens.

both Rousseau's and Wollstonecraft's arguments were shaped by Enlightenment ideals and addressed the role of education in shaping society. Wollstonecraft advanced the more radical vision because she argued that women deserved the same rational education as men, and challenged traditional gender indifferences. Rousseau's advancements didn't have the primary objective of making education equal for men and women making his advancements weaker.

Both authors were extremely well versed in inequality for women in education at this time, but i believe Wollstonecraft was definitely more radical with her belief's towards a gender enlightened society. This is explained throughout the text with Wollenstonecraft's constant protesting for sexist policies.

Wollstonecraft's argument was more radical because she believed that women need an education to be able to become self reliant, she also believed without an education women fall to the vices of society. Rousseau on the other hand believed that education served to help women become more useful to men.
