/…/ The conduct and manners of women, in fact, evidently prove that their minds are not in a healthy state; for, like the flowers which are planted in too rich soil, strength and usefulness are sacrified to beauty; and the flaunting leaves, after having pleased a fastidious eye, fade, disregarded on the stalk, long before the season when they ought to have arrived at maturity. -One cause of this barren blooming attribute to a false system of education, gathered from the books written on this subject by men who, considering females rather than human creatures, have been more anxious to make them alluring mistresses than wives, and the understanding of the sex has been so bubbled by this specious homage, that the civilised women of the present century, with a few exceptions, are only anxious to inspire love, when they ought to cherish a nobler ambition, and by their abilities and virtues exact respect. 

"Only considered as females and not a part of the human race"
