Mary Wollstonecraft, has written many proses in her life, but the one that really catches my attention and sticks out is the one written for the praise of Catherine Macauly. In this paper, I am going to analyze her prose, but instead translating the prose all together, I am going to analyze it paragraph by paragraph. People can read the prose and get a general understanding of what she is saying. What I intend to do is break down each line and show some of the bitterness Mary had toward society.
             When Mary thinks of respect, she automatically thinks of Mrs. Macaulay. This shows how Mary is just awestruck. With writers of her day, the person she admires the most is just a "underrated" writer. I say underrated because unlike her male contemparies, she wasn't regarded by many as the best or even in their class.
             While you keep reading this paragraph, you get to hear how bitter Mary really is. She says Catherine had been suffered to die without the sufficient respect being paid to her memory. But then she turns around and says posterity will be just. Also in the paragraph, she compares Catherine's intellect with those of men. Right here, she sounds so bitter. She wants for women to be accepted as equal so much, she over justifies herself. Mary has to remind us that Mrs. Macaulay was an example of an intellectual person who was not supposed to be that way. Women were not capable of that. She has to remind us sex does not help people be good writers and Catherine is a pefect example.
             In the second paragraph, she once again feels that she has to remind us that women are capable of profound thinking. This sentence takes away from the later writing in the paragraph. In the beginning she compares Catherine to men again, but then later on in the paragraph, Mary talks about her writing. Mary should just focus on her writing, not her just being a woman and writing. Catherine's work will eventually speak for itself....
