If the abstract rights of man will bear discussion and explanation, those of women, by a parity of reasoning, will not shrink from the same test. – Mary Wollstonecraft
Women ought to have representatives, instead of being arbitrarily governed without any direct share allowed them in the deliberations of government. – Mary Wollstonecraft
Men and women must be educated, in a great degree, by the opinions and manners of the society they live in. – Mary Wollstonecraft
