Although by today's standards Wollstonecraft's style may not seem out of the ordinary, by the time "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" was written, her approach was considered too blunt for 18th-century´s society.

Explanation:

Not only it was the first published book arguing that women’s rights were on the same footing as men’s, but it also had a tone that showed Wollstonecraft’s sense of humor as well as her anger at the unjust circumstances most women had to face.  

For example:

"My own sex, I hope, will excuse me, if I treat them like rational creatures, instead of flattering their fascinating graces, and viewing them as if they were in a state of perpetual childhood, unable to stand alone."
