"A revolution in female manners would reform the world."
"Make them free, and they will quickly become wise and virtuous, as men become more so; for the improvement must be mutual, or the injustice which one half of the human race are obliged to submit to, retorting on their oppressors, the virtue of man will be worm-eaten by the insect whom he keeps under his feet."
Written in 1792, "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman : With Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects" is considered as the classic feminist text.
