If all men are born free, why is it that all women are born slaves?

Women are from their very infancy debarred those advantages with the want of which they are aftewards reproached, and nursed up in those vices which will hereafter be upbraided to them. So partial are men as to expect bricks when they afford no straw.

If a Woman can neither Love nor Honour, she does ill in promising to Obey.

None of God's Creatures absolutely consider'd are in their own Nature Contemptible; the meanest Fly, the poorest Insect has its Use and Vertue.

The scum of the People are most Tyrannical when they get the Power, and treat their Betters with the greatest Insolence.

If God had not intended that Women shou'd use their Reason, He wou'd not have given them any, 'for He does nothing in vain.

None of us whether Men or Women but have so good an Opinion of our own Conduct as to believe we are fit, if not to direct others, at least to govern our selves.
