Introduce how feminism is constantly evolving. He is both reactionary to the progress made and in favor of further progress. Because the way society treats gender relations is continually evolving and changing, it is difficult to compare two feminist authors. By analyzing the objectives of feminist authors in relation to their time, however, it becomes easier to visualize the overall priorities of feminist thought. Wollstonecraft's work in the 18th century was certainly ahead of its time (in that feminist thought did not yet exist), but she did not push her arguments to any level of extremism (perhaps be because there was no concept of feminism to support her ideas). Although feminist priorities have changed over time – not a single movement, but a set of views regarding gender roles, relationships and rights – different authors have are focused on different aspects of gender relations. Using the works of Virginia Woolf, Simone de Beauvoir, and even the later Ursula Le Guin, it is possible to see the evolving dynamics of gender relations. Education is something that runs through the early work of these feminists. Wollstonecraft was concerned about the accessibility of education to women, with a view to the progress of humanity. Woolf uses a historical perspective to explain that the problem had not yet been resolved in her time. De Beauvoir, too, was not content with the educational level of her peers – even if her views differed from those of her predecessors due to the new circumstances of her time. Wollstonecraft's argument arises from a humanist and realist perspective. She focuses on the limiting factor of education, asserting that education would “enable the individual…to be independent”1.
