As a result of envolvement in the American revolution, France was on the cusp of bankruptcy. On top of this, King Louis XVI had horrible spending habits that contributed to bankruptcy as well. Because of this, people revolted against the king. As an example, a National Assembly was formed by members of the Third Estate and this was the first act of rebellion that went against the king, therefore starting the revolution. As a result of the French Revolution, a few British authors came out and discussed their viewpoints of this scenario. Edmund Burke was notably against the revolution, as he called it "absurd and ridiculous" and believed things would go out of hand due to the revolution against the king and queen. On top of this, he argued for traditional values. Mary Wollstonecraft angrily responded to Burke's document, and she criticized Burke's sympathy for the queen, Marie Antoinette. She also argued for more rights for women, saying that women "cannot, by force, be confinded to domestic concerns" (page 232). 

With people sharing their thoughts on the French Revolution, they are advocating for something that is important to them. It is especially important that Mary Wollstonecraft speaks up for the rights of women against Burke's argument in regards to respect for tradition and to his defense of King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. After all, King Louis XVI had been spending large amounts of money that kept France in debt, so the government was not sufficient enough for France. If people are unsatisfied, then they raise their voice and this is what Mary Wollstonecraft has done to defend why the revolution was necessary against people like Edmund Burke who wants to keep things the way they are. Calling issues out is one aspect of humanity that we've always had within us, and people continue to speak out when something unjustifiable occurs.
