How many children did Mary Wolstonecraft have?

In Mary Rowlandson's narrative of the "Captivity and Restoration" or herself, she wrote that she had her sick daughter who she was holding when they were shot, and she tried to take care of her throughout their capture. However, 6 year old Sarah died after around 9 days from fever and infection. Although not much is clear about Mary, different sources have 'confirmed' that Rowlandson had at least three children, because they were captured also. Her narrative also reveals that she herself, and her son were both released from the Indians because someone paid there ransom. Her other daughter just walked away. Due to this information (and no confirmation) it is believed that she had three children.


Why did Mary Rowlandson refer to her six-year-old daughter as it and not her?

Mary Rowlandson referred to her six-year-old daughter as "it" in her captivity narrative to emphasize the dehumanizing effects of her experience. This choice of language reflects her trauma and the loss of personal identity in the face of violence and separation. By using "it," Rowlandson illustrates how her daughter's humanity was overshadowed by the brutal circumstances of their captivity. This stark reference underscores the emotional and psychological toll of her ordeal.


Why did Mary Rowlandson finally break down and cry in From a Narrative of the Captivity?

Mary Rowlandson broke down and cried in "From a Narrative of the Captivity" after witnessing the death of her six-year-old daughter, who had been suffering from a severe wound throughout their captivity. The immense emotional and physical strain, along with the trauma of being separated from her family, drove her to finally break down and cry.
