8. Notes #33a, Title: “Feminism Notes”
1) Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797): Strongest usage
of enlightenment ideas to further women’s rights.
A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792)
“I love man as my fellow; but his scepter, real, or
usurped, extends not to me, unless the reason of
an individual demands my homage; and even
then the submission is to reason, and not to
man...Liberty is the mother of virtue, and if
women are, by their very constitution, slaves,
and not allowed to breathe the sharp invigorating
air of freedom... Taught from their infancy that
beauty is woman's sceptre, the mind shapes
itself to the body, and, roaming round its gilt
cage, only seeks to adore its prison.”
