This is a fascinating angle on Wollstonecraft. I appreciate the way you highlight her as a religious moral thinker rather than the purely secular Enlightenment figure she’s often portrayed to be. The idea that distorted concepts of authority and reason ripple from theology into politics and even family life is especially striking. Recovering a richer understanding of reason rooted in our creation in God’s image feels incredibly relevant today. I’ve been reflecting on a similar theme of surrendering modern ideas of autonomy to something deeper here: https://theeternalnowmm.substack.com/p/the-surrender?r=71z4jh
