Presents how feminism is constantly evolving. He is both reactionary to the progress made and a supporter of further progress. Because society's treatment of gender relations is continually developing and changing, it is difficult to compare any two feminist authors. By analyzing the goals of feminist authors in relation to their time periods, however, it becomes easier to visualize the overall priorities of feminist thought. Wollstonecraft's work in the 18th century was certainly ahead of its time (as feminist thought did not yet exist), however she did not take her arguments to any level of extremism (probably because there was no concept of feminism to support her ideas) . Although feminist priorities have changed over time – not that it is a single movement, but a set of views regarding gender roles, relationships and rights – different authors have focused on different aspects of gender relations. Using the works of Virginia Woolf, Simone de Beauvoir and even the later Ursula Le Guin, it is possible to see the evolving dynamics of gender relations. Education is something that runs through the early works of these feminists. Wollstonecraft was concerned with the accessibility of education for women, in terms of the progress of humanity. Woolf uses a historical perspective to address the fact that the issue had not yet been resolved in her time. De Beauvoir is also not satisfied with the level of education of his peers, although his perspective differs from that of his predecessors due to the new circumstances of his time. Wollstonecraft's argument comes from a humanistic and realistic perspective. He focuses on the limiting factor of education, stating that education “enables the individual…independence”1.
