For a Scandinavian like myself this was interesting to read. Mary Wollstonecraft travels from England to Scandinavia and sends a series of letter home to one of her friends descibing everything she sees. Though these letters do show us something about Scandinavia it shows almost even more about the woman writing them. It i, through these letters, quite clear that she is a feminist. With each country she visits she compares the freedom of their women to the freedom of their men and the freedom of the English women. It is also clear that Wollstonecraft holds England in very great esteem. To her the Scandinavian countries are almost barbaric compared to England.
