Property should circulate, divided more equally among a family's children, rather than entrenched by inheritance of the eldest son

Drawn from what Mary Wollstonecraft said

What Mary Wollstonecraft actually said

  1. Mary Wollstonecraft English moral and political philosopher (1759 to 1797)
    Property, I do not scruple to aver it, should be fluctuating, which would be the case, if it were more equally divided amongst all the children of a family; else it is an everlasting rampart, in consequence of a barbarous feudal institution, that enables the elder son to overpower talents and depress virtue.
