Medea - rage and fury at betrayal of husband
Phedre - succumbs to guilt of ill-directed/unrequitted love
Lysistrata - rises up in protest against war. takes a stand against the men
Sappho - love for beauty of female gender
Antigone - sacrifices her life for her duty to brother
my favourite; seems most sincere
Wollstonecraft combines all of the above
Like Medea and Phedre; she is betrayed and in emotional distress because of husband/a man
Like Lysistrata; she stands up for woman's rights vs men
Like Sappho; she has great love for her daughter and speaks of the 'blush on her cheeks"
Like Antigone; she fulfills her duty for her sister by taking her away from a negative situation
also realized that Antigone is like Antagonize
