Cultivating the mind is not incompatible with a woman's domestic duties
Drawn from what Mary Wollstonecraft said
What Mary Wollstonecraft actually said
- Mary Wollstonecraft English moral and political philosopher (1759 to 1797)
No employment of the mind is a sufficient excuse for neglecting domestic duties, and I cannot conceive that they are incompatible. A woman may fit herself to be the companion and friend of a man of sense, and yet know how to take care of his family.
