More From Mary Wollstonecraft
- "Women are systematically degraded by receiving the trivial attentions which men think it manly to pay to the sex, when, in fact, men are insultingly supporting their own superiority."
- "No man chooses evil because it is evil; he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks."
- "Women have seldom sufficient employment to silence their feelings; a round of little cares, or vain pursuits frittering away all strength of mind and organs, they become naturally only objects of sense."
