An essay on woman: https://poetrynook.com/poem/essay-woman
The lover a ballad: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/44761
1). Why, specifically, might Leapor's own life be useful in interpreting "An Essay on Woman"?

2). How might "An Essay on Woman" be seen in relationship to Pope's "An Essay on Man"?
3). Is Montagu's "The Lover: A Ballad" more optimistic than Leapor is about the obstacles that women face? If so, how? If not, why not?
3. Study Questions on Astell's "Some Reflections on Marriage"
1). Why, specifically, does Astell argue that there is very little difference between a marriage based on a man's love for a woman, and a marriage based on a man's desire for a woman's money?
2). Why, specifically, does Astell think that "improving" women will challenge customary notions of marriage?
3). How does Astell say that men might benefit if women were "improved"? Does she think this will actually happen? Why or why not?
