"Is there any thing better in a State than that both women and men be rendered the very best? There is not." --Plato.
It is idle to say that what is right for man is wrong for woman. Pure reason, abstract right and wrong, have nothing to do with sex: they neither recognize nor know it.

Both have a right to do the best they can; or, to speak more justly, both should feel the duty, and have the opportunity, to do their best. Each must justify its existence by becoming a complete development of manhood and womanhood; and each should refuse whatever limits or dwarfs that development.
The problem of woman's sphere, to use the modern phrase, is not to be solved by applying to it abstract principles of right and wrong...
