We would have every arbitrary barrier thrown down. We would have every path laid open to woman as freely as to man.
Margaret FullerThe Arabian horse will not plough well, nor can the plough-horse be rode to play the jereed.
Margaret FullerI have urged on woman independence of man, not that I do not think the sexes mutually needed by one another, but because in woman this fact has led to an excessive devotion, which has cooled love, degraded marriage and prevented it her sex from being what it should be to itself or the other. I wish woman to live, first for God's sake. Then she will not take what is not fit for her from a sense of weakness and poverty. Then if she finds what she needs in man embodied, she will know how to love and be worthy of being loved.
