“My own sex, I hope, will excuse me, if I treat them like rational creatures, instead of
flattering their fascinating graces, and viewing them as if they were in a state of

dignity and human happiness consists—I wish to persuade women to endeavour to
acquire strength, both of mind and body, and to convince them that the soft phrases,
susceptibility of heart, delicacy of sentiment, and refinement of taste, are almost
synonymous with epithets of weakness, and that those beings who are only the
objects of pity and that kind of love, which has been termed its sister, will soon
become objects of contempt.”
