Civilized women are, therefore, so weakened 141 4| gallantry, all tend to make women the creatures of sensation, 142 4| Yet, to their senses, are women made slaves, because it 143 4| and sorrows, into which women are plunged by the prevailing 144 4| rational creature in a way women are not aware of - for love 145 4| boys, we should quickly see women with more dignified aspects. 146 4| their own reason. 'Educate women like men,' says Rousseau, ' 147 4| of the peculiar duties of women, as I should treat of the 148 4| men.' I say the same of women.

I mean to say 170 4| mean to say that they allow women to be in their most perfect 171 4| enervated by the use of so many women, and therefore less vigorous; 172 4| therefore less vigorous; the women, on the contrary, are of 173 4| the proportion of men to women is nearly equal, or, if 174 4| long as the weakness of women caused the word seduction 175 4| hands or heads.

And the difference may 259 6| Men, for whom we are told women were made, have too much 260 6| occupied the thoughts of women; and this association has 261 6| seen this exemplified in women whose beauty could no longer 262 7| asked the question whether women may be instructed in the 263 7| till I inferred that those women who have most improved their 264 7| in general, termed modest women.

How can delicate women obtrude on notice that part 286 7| rational to conclude, that the women who have not been taught 287 7| generally observed, that women fall into old habits; and 288 7| acquaintance.~ ~ Besides, women from necessity, because 289 7| tricks, which knots of young women indulge themselves in, when 290 7| cleanliness which indolent women too often neglect, that 291 7| affirm that when two or three women live in the same house, 292 7| attentions; yet if men and women took half as much pains 293 7| attainment of purity of mind.

Women as well as men ought to 297 7| be left to herself; let women only acquire knowledge and 298 7| behaviour of many newly married women has often disgusted me. 299 7| to each other, as men and women, is the last thing that 300 8| produce the fine gentleman.~ ~ Women likewise acquire, from a 301 8| a law, divine or human. 'Women,' says some author, I cannot 302 8| the intrigues of married women, particularly in high life, 303 8| and in countries where women are suitably married, according 304 8| by the arts which married women, under the convenient cloak 305 8| fear.~ ~ Sometimes married women act still more audaciously; 306 8| I have known a number of women who, if they did not love 307 8| it. Whilst other indolent women, neglecting every personal 308 8| men; but its throne among women.' It is strictly logical 309 8| vice.

Some women, particularly French women, 314 8| women, particularly French women, have also lost a sense 315 8| indolence of many married women, and others a little advanced 316 8| exercise of a common sympathy. Women then having necessarily 317 8| the conduct of the very women to whom they allow no refuge 318 8| force them, let not modest women start, to assume, in some 319 8| satisfy this genus of men, women are made systematically 320 8| of men is vitiated; and women, of all classes, naturally 321 8| obtain pleasure and power. Women becoming, consequently, 322 8| impunity. The weak enervated women who particularly catch the 323 8| sensualist, who has rioted among women, spreading depravity and 324 8| nature never intended that women, by satisfying an appetite, 325 8| men ought to maintain the women whom they have seduced; 326 8| innocent gallantry. Did women really respect virtue for 327 8| of nature, by rendering women barren, and destroying his 328 8| factitious sentiment which makes women careful to preserve their 329 9| vain to expect virtue from women till they are, in some degree, 330 9| wealth enervates men; and women live, as it were, by their 331 9| does not compel men and women to discharge their respective 332 9| cherish, by only inciting women to render themselves pleasing; 333 9| recollections, wealth leads women to spurn. To preserve their 334 9| to the human character, women are more debased and cramped, 335 9| it be unfit for use.~ ~ Women are, in common with men, 336 9| independent; and, speaking of women at large, their first duty 337 9| and duties become null.~ ~ Women then must be considered 338 9| though I consider that women in the common walks of life 339 9| cannot help lamenting that women of a superiour cast have 340 9| for I really think that women ought to have representatives, 341 9| man to keep good company. Women, in particular, all want 342 9| tell what.~ ~ But what have women to do in society? I may 343 9| chronicle small beer! No. Women might certainly study the 344 9| and legal prostitution. Women would not then marry for 345 9| few employments open to women, so far from being liberal, 346 9| of the individual. But as women educated like gentlewomen, 347 9| in life.~ ~ Some of these women might be restrained from 348 9| for honest, independent women, by encouraging them to 349 9| civilization! the most respectable women are the most oppressed; 350 9| become contemptible. How many women thus waste life away the 351 9| I sigh to think how few women aim at attaining this respectability 352 9| stupifies the good sort of women it sucks in.~ ~ Proud of 353 10| Besides, the affection of some women for their children is, as 354 10| attention - an attention which women cannot pay who only love 355 10| their affections which makes women so often run into extremes, 356 10| independence of mind which few women possess who are taught to 357 10| indispensable duty of men and women to fulfil the duties which 358 10| providence has furnished women with a natural substitute 359 11| account for the weakness of women; for girls, from various 360 11| duties arbitrarily imposed on women, more from a sense of propriety, 361 11| be told that a number of women are not slaves in the marriage 362 12| to the society of men and women, they very soon acquire 363 12| disgust have I heard sensible women, for girls are more restrained 364 12| ever characterize it whilst women remain the slaves of power!~ ~ * 365 12| that degrade and destroy women; yet at school, boys infallibly 366 12| of fellowship, nor will women ever fulfil the peculiar 367 12| never be held sacred till women, by being brought up with 368 12| affections in a great degree. Now women are notoriously fond of 369 12| natural effects; and till women have more understanding, 370 12| of knowledge, that takes women out of their families, and 371 12| to afford it nourishment. Women have been allowed to remain 372 12| the luxurious despots, and women the crafty ministers? - 373 12| peculiar duties which as women they are called upon by 374 12| When, therefore, I call women slaves, I mean in a political 375 12| sly tricks practised by women to gain some foolish thing 376 12| degrade their character, if women were led to respect themselves, 377 12| scientific subjects, that leads women astray from duty. No, it 378 12| because the education which women now receive scarcely deserves 379 12| they are who, if they allow women to leave their harams, do 380 12| meliorate the fate of man, women must be allowed to found 381 12| history of all nations, that women cannot be confined to merely 382 12| superiour men, will always give women, of some description, great 383 12| over them; and these weak women, under the influence of 384 12| relax in the society of women; and surely I need not cite 385 12| power which vile and foolish women have had over wise men, 386 12| channel of humanity; many women have not mind enough to 387 12| always preponderate; and if women be not, in general, brought 388 12| they will look for both in women, but they can only acquire 389 12| France or Italy, have the women confined themselves to domestic 390 12| the only method of leading women to fulfil their peculiar 391 12| if they will not improve women, they will deprave them!~ ~ 392 12| that the behaviour of a few women, who, by accident, or following 393 12| there have been instances of women who, attaining knowledge, 394 12| especially from pretty women, often arise from envy. 395 12| consolation is, that such women seldom get husbands.
