Drawn from what Mary Wollstonecraft said
What Mary Wollstonecraft actually said
- Mary Wollstonecraft English moral and political philosopher (1759 to 1797)
A parent, under distressed circumstances, should be supported, even though it should prevent our saving a fortune for a child; nay more, should they be both in distress at the same time, the prior obligation should be first discharged.
