Where Will the Men Go?
Abstract
The conclusion explores that place of men and masculinity in Wollstonecraft’s thought and the new world she hoped would rise. Unlike feminist science-fiction writers such as Sandra Newman, she never envisaged a world without men, but always hoped that men and women could learn to live and work together. In order for this to happen, social mores needed to be reformed, as they contained too many prejudices about sex and gender that kept men and women separate. How close have we come to realizing Wollstonecraft’s vision?
