Wollstonecraft defines virtue as a positive trait. It is valued
as a basis of good moral being. She defines it as moral
excellence.Wollstonecraft demanded that young girls be taught about
the moral life rather than temporal ambitions such as cultivating
physical beauty,softness of temper, and societal propriety.Women
were told to value temporal and trivial things such as beauty of
appearance and being coy. Instead of these fruitless ventures,
women should be cultivating their own minds in order to become
strong and free.
