#1 comma before "and"

Correct #'s 2,4,6,9, 12

#3. use "Edgar" instead of "he".

# 5 "realizes and "cause" would be better.

#7 Women's positions, or A woman's position...either would be correct.

#10 A woman's education was inferior to her male contemporary.

#11 Who is "she"... other than that, both would be fine.

#13. you can use "solely" instead of "only" if you wish.

#14 Yes

#8. "manage their home and to raise their children"
