Marriage generally lowers a woman, costing her individuality and independent character
Drawn from what Sarah Grimké said
What Sarah Grimké actually said
- Sarah Grimké American abolitionist and women's rights writer (1792 to 1873)
Woman, instead of being elevated by her union with man, which might be expected from an alliance with a superior being, is in reality lowered. She generally loses her individuality, her independent character, her moral being.
