IT is enough for the Men to find a thing establish’d to make them believe it well grounded. In all countries we are seen in subjection and absolute dependence on the Men, without being admitted to the advantages of sciences, or the opportunity of exerting our capacity in a public station. Hence the Men, according to their usual talent of arguing from seemings, conclude that we ought to be so. (…)But why do the Men persuade themselves that we are less fit for public employments than they are? Can they give any better reason than custom and prejudice form’d in them by external appearances (…)? (…) For if Women are but consider’d as rational creatures, abstracted from the disadvantages imposed upon them by the unjust usurpation and tyranny of the Men, they will be found, to the full, as capable as the Men, of filling these offices.
