However, this devotion to tasks can only occur if all people (men and women) are equal, which is attained through education. For her, one is considered moral and virtuous if they perform their tasks properly. In A Vindication of the Rights of Women, Wollstonecraft makes her argument based on the issues of morals and virtue. ![]() Still, as their essays show, there are differences in their advocacies that reflect certain contextual differences of their times. That advocacy begins in admitting that women are treated differently from men. Wollstonecraft and Mill share a common task, namely, the advocacy for more rights for women. Mary Wollstonecraft and John Stewart Mill represent different times in the evolution of women’s rights movement. Nevertheless, these variations should be understandable, especially when interpreted within the contexts (both in time and space) that inspired them. The feminist movement since its earliest times has been marked with varying perspectives, positions and arguments. ![]()

Still, as urban fantasy detective stories go, this hits the sweet spot of eschewing overdone tropes while retaining the familiar elements that draw fans to the genre. Henry maintains an expert balance between the supernatural and real vodou beliefs, but there’s less depth to the mystery than the magic, leading to an underwhelming, albeit reasonably convincing, resolution. ![]() ![]() In the process, she runs afoul of her detective ex-boyfriend-a man so hateful it’s hard to know what she saw in him-as well as the leader of the local vodouisant community.
