More from Mary Wollstonecraft
"The education of women has been so managed that the sex has been rendered an artificial, weak character, and, consequently, more or less useless members of society."
"It is a significant indication of the present state of society, that the greater part of the women, who have any independence of mind, are found in the lower classes."
"I have always been of opinion, that the only way to make women rational creatures, and free citizens, is to allow them to pursue their own interest, and to follow the bent of their own inclinations."
"How can a being be noble who is only good because she is afraid of being wicked?"
"I have been so accustomed to hear beauty of the mind extolled, that I have been led to expect something more than ordinary, when I have met with a woman with a cultivated understanding."
