In her family, she learned through experience about the inequality between men and women. When she started working, she had limitations because she was middle class and unmarried. Wollstonecraft “worked as a paid companion in the fashionable seaside resort of Bath, as a governess in an aristocratic family, and as a school proprietor” (“Mary Wollstonecraft”). During this time, not only did she witness educational inequality, but she also saw how many women found themselves in unhappy marriages and were powerless to do anything to resolve their unhappiness. Wollstonecraft had little or no formal education and for this reason she relied on self-education. This then led to why she spoke seriously about women being able to receive equal education. Later in Wollstonecraft's life, she developed a first love that developed into a relationship with Gilbert Imlay, and from it an illegitimate daughter named Franny was born. In 1795, she attempted suicide. Wollstonecraft married William Godwin and had a legitimate child named Mary Shelley. The end of Wollstonecraft's life was not ideal, in 1797 she died from complications related to the illness of her daughter Mary Shelley.
