Drawn from what Sarah Grimké said
What Sarah Grimké actually said
- Sarah Grimké American abolitionist and women's rights writer (1792 to 1873)
All history attests that man has subjected woman to his will, used her as a means to promote his selfish gratification, to minister to his sensual pleasures, to be instrumental in promoting his comfort; but never has he desired to elevate her to that rank she was created to fill.
