of an opinion which I have held from the very earliest period when I had
formed any opinions at all on social political matters, and which, instead
of being weakened or modified, has been constantly growing stronger by the
progress reflection and the experience of life. That the principle which
regulates the existing social relations between the two sexes -- the legal
subordination of one sex to the other -- is wrong itself, and now one of
the chief hindrances to human improvement; and that it ought to be replaced
by a principle of perfect equality, admitting no power or privilege on the
one side, nor disability on the other. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
