The Sum And Substance Of Female Education

During The Present Interval Between The Feudal Age And The Coming Time, When Life And Its Occupations Will Be Freely Thrown Open To Women As To Men, The Condition Of The Female Working Classes Is Such That If Its Sufferings Were But Made Known, Emotions Of Horror And Shame Would Tremble Through The Whole Of Society.

It Is Hard To Tell Which Is Worse; The Wide Diffusion Of Things That Are Not True, Or The Suppression Of Things That Are True.

Women, Like Men, Must Be Educated With A View To Action, Or Their Studies Cannot Be Called Education.

Even If Their Outward Fortunes Could Be Absolutely Equalized, There Would Be, From Individual Constitution Alone, An Aristocracy And A Democracy In Every Land. The Fearful By Nature Would Compose An Aristocracy, The Hopeful By Nature A Democracy, Were All Other Causes Of Divergence Done Away.

It Is The Worst Humiliation And Grievance Of The Suffering, That They Cause Suffering.
