  2    1|         domestic life, which French women almost despise, are the
  3    1|          only to respect modesty in women, but to acquire it themselves,
  4    1|             and unjust to subjugate women, even though you firmly
  5    1|            part, when you force all women, by denying them civil and
  6    1|              the more understanding women acquire, the more they will
  7    1|        abject dependent.~ ~ But, if women are to be excluded, without
  8    1|            prove my assertion, that women cannot, by force, be confined
  9    1|        father, it is vain to expect women to spend that time in their
 10    1|             denied a share: for, if women are not permitted to enjoy
 11  Adv|     especially the laws relative to women, and the consideration of
 12  Int|          misery I deplore; and that women, in particular, are rendered
 13  Int|          The conduct and manners of women, in fact, evidently prove
 14  Int|       considering females rather as women than human creatures, have
 15  Int|          homage, that the civilized women of the present century,
 16  Int|            terms, that the minds of women are enfeebled by false refinement;
 17  Int|           objects for a moment; and women, intoxicated by the adoration
 18  Int|      exclamations against masculine women; but where are they to be

 21  Int|           of the moral character of women, in each, this hint is,
 22  Int|       consists - I wish to persuade women to endeavour to acquire
 23  Int|         action.~ ~ The education of women has, of late, been more
 24  Int|          themselves, - the only way women can rise in the world, -
 25  Int|          that the instruction which women have hitherto received has
 26  Int|            name, asks what business women turned of forty have to
 27  Int|          little reason to fear that women will acquire too much courage
 28  Int|           with sensual reveries?~ ~ Women are, in fact, so much degraded
 29  Int|           chaste and modest, and if women do not grow wiser in the
 30  Int|        naturally more gravity, some women govern their husbands without
 31    1|       justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights,
 32    1|           frequently with well-bred women, catch a sentimental cant. -
 33    2|            or, to speak explicitly, women are not allowed to have
 34    2|            or happiness.~ ~ If then women are not a swarm of ephemeron
 35    2|        barriers to break its force. Women are told from their infancy,
 36    2|        though when he tells us that women are formed for softness
 37    2|          secure the good conduct of women by attempting to keep them
 38    2|           of the tree of knowledge, women will come in for a taste;
 39    2|       epithet is applied to men, or women, it is but a civil term
 40    2|           For if it be allowed that women were destined by Providence
 41    2|        therefore, of the manners of women, let us, disregarding sensual
 42    2|           attributed to it. Men and women must be educated, in a great
 43    2|      respecting men: I extend it to women, and confidently assert
 44    2|   hereditary trappings: and if then women do not resign the arbitrary
 45    2|          have contributed to render women more artificial, weak characters,
 46    2|           human species, and render women pleasing at the expense
 47    2|      society, contribute to enslave women by cramping their understandings
 48    2|            important precept, which women, who, generally speaking,
 49    2|          the little knowledge which women of strong minds attain,
 50    2|             But in the education of women, the cultivation of the
 51    2|   distinction? Soldiers, as well as women, practice the minor virtues
 52    2|        found in the army as amongst women; and the cause, I maintain,
 53    2|          still reckoned superior to women, though in what their superiority
 54    2|           discover.~ ~ * Why should women be censured with petulant
 55    2|           same remark be applied to women? Nay, the argument may be
 56    2|        honours have made cyphers of women to give consequence to the
 57    2|         when they endeavour to keep women in the dark, because the
 58    2|           dangerous of tyrants, and women have been duped by their
 59    2|          passion and discontent.~ ~ Women are, therefore, to be considered
 60    2|         spread over the subject! If women are by nature inferior to
 61    2|           this sally places men and women, I shall leave to the judicious
 62    2|           vanity.~ ~ I now speak of women who are restrained by principle
 63    2|        principle or prejudice; such women, though they would shrink
 64    2|             reigns in the heart.~ ~ Women ought to endeavour to purify
 65    2|          sink into apathy; but have women so little ambition as to
 66    2|              we shall find that the women who have distinguished themselves
 67    2|            prejudices, tend to make women more constant than men;
 68    2|             frequently happens that women who have fostered a romantic
 69    2|              and Swedenborg.~ ~ How women are to exist in that state
 70    2|          but one archetype for man, women appear to be suspended by
 71    2|           view. Do passive indolent women make the best wives? Confining
 72    2|          perform their part? Do the women who, by the attainment of
 73    2|             to amuse them? And have women, who have early imbibed
 74    2|            inferiority, and how few women have emancipated themselves
 75    2|          that the few extraordinary women who have rushed in eccentrical
 76    2|     increased that inferiority till women are almost sunk below the
 77    2|             number of distinguished women I do not ask a place.~ ~
 78    2|          treats of the education of women, assert that they ought
 79    2|           when he says,~ ~ 'If weak women go astray,~ ~ 'The stars
 80    2|            mother of virtue, and if women be, by their very constitution,
 81    2|            pleasure of the moment - women have only done the same,
 82    3|       contempt that men, as well as women, seem to think it unnecessary:
 83    3|             not in degree, and that women, considered not only as
 84    3|          not the proper province of women; their studies should be
 85    3|        principles. All the ideas of women, which have not the immediate
 86    3|          about the human heart; but women will read the heart of man
 87    3|            than they. It belongs to women, if I may be allowed the
 88    3|           study of man to a system. Women have most wit, men have
 89    3|          wit, men have most genius; women observe, men reason: from
 90    3|            The world is the book of women.' - Rousseau's Emilius.~ ~
 91    3|            brought forward, between women and officers.~ ~ But, if
 92    3|           the boast of men, why are women so infatuated as to be proud
 93    3|          and libertinism of man.~ ~ Women, deluded by these sentiments,
 94    3|          the triumph of an hour.~ ~ Women, as well as despots, have
 95    3|        venture to assert, that till women are more rationally educated,
 96    3|         pleasure and admiration. If women are in general feeble both
 97    3|             only arts cultivated by women in most of the polished
 98    3|           for dress, conspicuous in women, may be easily accounted
 99    3| indisputable fact, that most of the women, in the circle of my observation,
100    3|           the elements; but genteel women are, literally speaking,
101    3|            the soil, unfruitful.~ ~ Women are every where in this
102    3|            to the opening mind; but women, confined to one, and having
103    3|            not overlook his own.~ ~ Women, it is true, obtaining power
104    3|           It were to be wished that women would cherish an affection
105    3|             that from their infancy women should either be shut up
106    3|       require some time to convince women that they act contrary to
107    3|            his appetites; and those women obtaining most power who
108    3|            universe.~ ~ Besides, if women be educated for dependence;
109    3|            that she is not as other women are. These are the blessed
110    3|           their own convenience.~ ~ Women, I allow, may have different
111    3|           may fairly be extended to women; for, seldom occupied by
112    3|            same cause; but allowing women to be rational creatures,
113    4|        drink, for to-morrow we die. Women, I argue from analogy, are
114    4|          the compass of principles. Women, weak women, are compared
115    4|             principles. Women, weak women, are compared with angels;
116    4|            character, has made even women of superiour sense adopt
117    4|             not only been denied to women; but writers have insisted
118    4|          very common amongst men or women. But this exercise is the
119    4|        degrade the sex, and prevent women from generalizing their
120    4|            from their birth men and women be placed in a torrid zone,
121    4|         constantly demand homage as women, though experience should
122    4|            character, he alludes to women. 'But what is more singular
123    4|           absolutely incurable. The women, though without virtue,
124    4|          sovereigns.'~ ~ Ah! why do women, I write with affectionate
125    4|             of men have thus placed women on thrones, and, till mankind
126    4|             it is to be feared that women will avail themselves of
127    4|          and support his power. And women, whom he flattered by a
128    4|           desire is not confined to women; 'I have endeavoured,' says
129    4|           gain the hearts of twenty women, whose persons I would not
130    4|          Yet only taught to please, women are always on the watch
131    4|           subject.~ ~ I lament that women are systematically degraded
132    4|       people.~ ~ When do we hear of women who, starting out of obscurity,
133    4|        originally as descriptive of women, but of the rich. In Dr.
134    4|        character similar to that of women, who are localized, if I
135    4|             placed in, by courtesy? Women, commonly called Ladies,
136    4|      feature in their lives; whilst women, on the contrary, have no
137    4|             mere relaxation; whilst women seek for pleasure as the
138    4|     trifling turn to the conduct of women in most circumstances: for
139    4|         trivial cares?~ ~ In short, women, in general, as well as
140    4|          gust of feeling. 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. But, the welfare of society
149    4|             laboured to domesticate women, have endeavoured, by arguments
150    4|       methods they really persuaded women, by working on their feelings,
151    4|            oppose opinions that led women to right conduct, by prevailing
152    4|             the duties of humanity, women will follow their example;
153    4|       pleasure is, likewise, within women's reach without earning
154    4|         virtue? And, till they are, women will govern them by the
155    4|      joyless solitude.~ ~ These two women may be much upon a par,
156    4|            life.~ ~ With respect to women, when they receive a careful
157    4|            fancies; or mere notable women. The latter are often friendly,
158    4|      domestic concerns himself. Yet women, whose minds are not enlarged
159    4|    pernicious.~ ~ Besides, how many women of this description pass
160    4|        caresses of her husband; and women who have so few resources
161    4|        becomes too tender.~ ~ These women are often amiable; and their
162    4|         fair defects in nature; the women who appear to be created
163    4|            be the supreme good, let women be only educated to inspire
164    4|             under the management of women during their childhood.
165    4|             have been able to make, women of sensibility are the most
166    4|       concourse, I contend, men and women, should not have their sensations
167    4|      strength till thirty; but that women arrive at maturity by twenty.
168    4|          French term a physionomie, women do not acquire before thirty,
169    4|              give the preference to women of thirty. 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. But these women should not, in the full

179    4|           morals, particularly when women are alluded to, writers
180    4|          than of a lively fancy.~ ~ Women have seldom sufficient serious
181    4|            hint at present, because women are so often degraded by
182    4|         have done with the subject; women make their own clothes,
183    4|           family business; but when women work only to dress better
184    4|          they must be employed, and women in the middle rank of life,
185    4|          The conversation of French women, who are not so rigidly
186    4|            as that of those English women whose time is spent in making

189    4|       individually. The thoughts of women ever hover round their persons,

203    5|          asserted that in educating women these fundamental principles
204    5|         same. The men depend on the women only on account of their
205    5|       account of their desires; the women on the men both on account
206    5|        reason, the education of the women should be always relative
207    5|             these are the duties of women at all times, and what they
208    5|           in that respect reversed. Women certainly require as much
209    5|              they were treated like women, almost from their very
210    5|             the length of time that women have been dependent, is
211    5|            reason,' adds Rousseau, 'women have, or ought to have,
212    5|     restraint a tractableness which women have occasion for during

217    5|           he adds - 'The tongues of women are very voluble; they speak
218    5|           practised both by men and women. - Out of the abundance

224    5|         sensibility to their charms women are very ready to forgive!
225    5|                There have been many women in the world who, instead

227    5|            kindred angels!' Why are women to be thus bred up with
228    5|              but to sink them below women? Or, that a gentle innocent

231    5|     astonished at the folly of many women, who are still reproaching

237    5|         This desire of being always women, is the very consciousness
238    5|            Indignantly have I heard women argue in the same track
239    5|            understanding.~ ~ Whilst women avow, and act up to such
240    5|     encumbered with mind, that vain women thoughtlessly adopt. Yet

246    5|             and more fortitude than women, is undoubtedly this, that
247    5|        termed a woman's reason. For women sometimes declare that they
248    6|       ground, is it surprising that women every where appear a defect
249    6|           But females, who are made women of when they are mere children,
250    6|             little absurd to expect women to be more reasonable than
251    6|            how can they then expect women, who are only taught to
252    6|             good-humoured docility: women are captivated by easy manners;
253    6|          inference is obvious; till women are led to exercise their
254    6|         however, for a moment, that women were, in some future revolution
255    6|            hackneyed in the ways of women, whose trade was vice; and
256    6|                 But one grand truth women have yet to learn, though
257    6|         cannot long remain.~ ~ Were women more rationally educated,
258    6|             live; but few, very few women. 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. Make the heart clean, let
265    7|            the pursuit of knowledge women would never be insulted
266    7|          remind them that they were women; actuated by the same spirit
267    7|        always men in the company of women, nor would women always
268    7|         company of women, nor would women always remember that they
269    7|       always remember that they are women, if they were allowed to
270    7|       november frowns.~ ~ As a sex, women are more chaste than men,
271    7|            modesty amongst men than women, simply because men exercise
272    7|            understandings more than women.~ ~ * The immodest behaviour
273    7|           behaviour of many married women, who are nevertheless faithful
274    7|     excepting one class of females, women have evidently the advantage.
275    7|           virtue, till both men and women grow more modest - till
276    7|      presence of a fellow creature; women are now out of the question,
277    7|            more absurd than keeping women in a state of ignorance,
278    7|        boast of their triumphs over women, what do they boast of?
279    7|            till men are more chaste women will be immodest. Where,
280    7|         Where, indeed, could modest women find husbands from whom
281    7|             confining my remarks to women.~ ~ The ridiculous falsities*
282    7|       improper.~ ~ To say the truth women are, in general, too familiar
283    7|             is despicable. But, why women in health should be more
284    7|          the care which some modest women take, making at the same
285    7|            manner. 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. But women only dress to gratify men
294    7|          idea of home.~ ~ As a sex, women are habitually indolent;
295    7|            not to say immodest, for women to feign an unnatural coldness
296    7|           coldness of constitution. 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. It was natural for women then to endeavour to preserve
310    8|            situation and education, women seldom become entirely abandoned
311    8|            of chastity is prized by women, it is despised by men:
312    8|             of their appetites than women; and their appetites are
313    8|            naturally produced. 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. What
396   12|          arts have I not seen silly women use to interrupt by flirtation,
397   12|        forget that they were pretty women.~ ~ But, allowing what is
398   12|          disgusting in both men and women - in what a state of inferiority
399   12|       portion of knowledge as those women attained, who have sneeringly
400   12|      sneeringly been termed learned women, could be singular? - Sufficiently
401   12|            rationality exposed many women to the severest censure?
402   12|             I have frequently heard women ridiculed, and every little
403   12|           the national education of women is of the utmost consequence,
404   12|          natural affection, in many women, who are drawn from their
405   12|          men are unwilling to place women in situations proper to
406   12|            the children! And whilst women are educated to rely on
407   12|          wife.~ ~ In public schools women, to guard against the errors
408   12|         blunders of self-willed old women, who give nostrums of them
409   12|            a domestic view, to make women acquainted with the anatomy
410   12|           of their bodies and minds women would acquire that mental
411   12|           to draw, is obvious; make women rational creatures, and
412   13|        Folly Which the Ignorance of Women~ ~Generates; with Concluding
413   13|            some degree, peculiar to women: sins against reason of
414   13|      practising on the credulity of women, pretending to cast nativities,
415   13|            above vulgar prejudices. Women, because they have not been
416   13|           surprise and indignation, women, whose appearance and attendance
417   13|     dishonest tricks to cheat silly women out of the money - which
418   13|           own conduct, O ye foolish women! which throws an odium on
419   13|          myself talking to ignorant women, for ignorant ye are in
420   13|            is equally proper to ask women a few questions.~ ~ Do you
421   13|     properly termed sentimental.~ ~ Women subjected by ignorance to
422   13|       actual vice.~ ~ These are the women who are amused by the reveries
423   13|             not allowed, as married women, excepting in criminal cases,
424   13|          have known several notable women, and one in particular,
425   13|          but I recollect many other women who, not led by degrees
426   13|            from reading novels some women of superiour talents learned
427   13|         taste and modesty. Ignorant women, forced to be chaste to
428   13|             reading of novels makes women, and particularly ladies
429   13|           self-preservation, render women very fond of dress, and
430   13|             dress so common to weak women, that they may not rest
431   13|             part. Yet, weak are the women who imagine that they can
432   13|        states, only the men not the women adorn themselves; for where
433   13|         adorn themselves; for where women are allowed to be so far
434   13|            Swift, 'how naturally do women apply their hands to each
435   13|          whom they never clash. But women are very differently situated
436   13|             instinct. Even virtuous women never forget their sex in
437   13|       produces principles. And that women from their education and
438   13|            draw the inference. - If women are to be made virtuous
439   13|             fulfil.~ ~ SECT. IV.~ ~ Women are supposed to possess
440   13|              I have known many weak women whose sensibility was entirely
441   13|            confined views: for even women of superior sense, having
442   13|         moralist who asserts, 'that women have seldom so much generosity
443   13|   understanding gained strength, if women were not depressed from
444   13|             exclusive affections of women seem indeed to resemble
445   13|          other.~ ~ Besides, how can women be just or generous, when
446   13|        murdered by the ignorance of women! But when they escape, and
447   13|             the period during which women are allowed the sole management
448   13|            instance of the folly of women must not be omitted. - The
449   13|           always observed, that the women who thus idolize their children,
450   13|            by ignorance, which keep women for ever at a stand, with
451   13|            ordered things, that did women suckle their children, they
452   13|           of morning trifling, draw women from their duty to render
453   13|               But, we shall not see women affectionate till more equality
454   13|            ranks are confounded and women freed, neither shall we
455   13|             of reason.~ ~ To render women truly useful members of
456   13|          before virtue; and, whilst women's persons are caressed,
457   13|            part of their lives with women, and with whom they have
458   13|           zest to pleasure!~ ~ That women at present are by ignorance
459   13|           promiscuous intimacy with women, learned to consider love
