“Men and women are made for each other, but their mutual dependence differs in degrees; man is dependent on woman through his desires; woman is dependent on man through her desires and also through her needs; he could do without her better than she can do without him. She cannot fulfill her purpose in life without his aid, without his goodwill, without his respect…Nature herself has decreed that woman, both for herself and her children, should be at the mercy of man s judgment.”
![“[A] woman should have every honorable motive to exertion which is enjoyed by man, to the full extent of her capacities and endowments. The case is too plain for argument. Nature has given woman the same powers, and subjected her to the same earth, breathes the same air, subsists on the same food…” quote by Frederick Douglass](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/926/frederick-douglass-859_air_a-woman-should-have-every-honorable-moti_2109951.jpg)
