Excerpt from Thoughts on the Moral Order of Nature, Vol. 3 of 3
Yes, she has the same passions, and requires, like him, to have them corrected; not by repressing them, but by calling them forth, and teaching her, resolutely, to encounter them. Where you attempt to stifle them in her breast, you only con tract her mind, you cannot purify it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the distinction between the sexes, and posits that to ensure a virtuous society, women need to evolve beyond being taught to just follow men, and exhibit perfect innocence. The book discusses the negative consequences stemming from this viewpoint - such as men losing the virtues that could be encouraged by ambitious women, women being confined to narrow domestic duties that do not prepare them to properly govern their families, and that this leads to an increase in national moral corruption and a revolving door of societal ills. The author asserts that women should be educated with their place in mind, and that education should nurture an ambition within them, encouraging them to excel in matters beyond domestic duties. The book concludes by examining the lives of women in ancient Rome and concluding that even in patriarchal times, women's influence was keenly felt when their ambitions were supported by society.
