The only law of Nature that Wollstonecraft accepts is that B. Males are physically stronger than females.

As such she believe that the other three are symbols of oppression to women. Women, as Wollstonecraft said, can be empowered by education to become better mother, sister and friends. They should also be provided the same opportunity with man in regards to politics and issue of the state.

The "law of nature" that Wollstonecraft accepts is that B. males are physically stronger that females.

Wollstonecraft was a zealous feminist, which means that she was advocating for women's rights bravely, especially for the time period she lived in (18th century). Given that she was one of the first feminists, it is obvious she wouldn't accept male supremacy when it comes to decisions about money, male logic/female emotion, and the last option. She believed that men and women are equal in those rights, but not when it comes to physical strength, which is obvious.
