The Wrongs of Woman captures one by having the narrator starting in the middle of the story, in medias res. Wollstonecraft alludes different views on women. Maria’s unjustifiable imprisonment by her husband was fascinating especially the connection one makes with the three monotheistic religions' biased view on women.
Wrongs of Woman has a strong connection to the sins of Eve in the Bible.
The title’s allusion towards Eve in the bible is from the deep rooted idea that
Eve was the reason why man had fallen from God’s grace, because she succumbed to the
serpent’s temptation and ate the apple from the Forbidden Fruit Tree. Patriarchal
society dominates the idea that women are not equal to men but in reality they are ever bit as equal as men. Maria’s imprisonment in the insane asylum alludes to women being prisoners in a patriarchal society.
