Does Wollstonecraft convey an air of steadfast sister-hood or unsympathetic hostility amongst females? In this essay I will endeavour to argue that Wollstonecraft’s rigorous dedication to promote female empowerment and friendship as a rational virtue was in a fact corrupted by its functionality to fulfil self -interests rather than express genuine emotion.
