Wollstonecraft wrote A Vindication of the Rights of Men in 1970 in response to Reflections on the Revolution in France by Edmund Burke, published only weeks before. In The Rights of Men, Wollstonecraft counters Burke's sentimentalized arguments about the cost of the French Revolution. Wollstonecraft disagrees with Burke's single-minded emphasis on the loss of culture and tradition of the French Revolution, and, instead, promotes sympathy for those suffering under an oppressive system. The Rights of Men argues that people would be more virtuous and lead more comfortable lives under a system of fluctuating wealth, rather than that of heredity.
