We cannot, without depraving our minds, endeavour to please a lover or husband, but in proportion as he pleases us.

Let woman share the rights and she will emulate the virtues of man; for she must grow more perfect when emancipated.

Simplicity and sincerity generally go hand in hand, as both proceed from a love of truth.

To be a good mother, a woman must have sense, and that independence of mind which few women possess who are taught to depend entirely on their husbands. Meek wives are, in general, foolish mothers; wanting their children to love them best, and take their part, in secret, against the father, who is held up as a scarecrow.

If women be educated for dependence; that is, to act according to the will of another fallible being, and submit, right or wrong, to power, where are we to stop?

The more equality there is established among men, the more virtue and happiness will reign in society.
