Mary Wollstonecraft

Mary Wollstonecraft
My husband - my king.
Mary Wollstonecraft
Nothing, I am sure, calls forth the faculties so much as the being obliged to struggle with the world.
Mary Wollstonecraft
Independence I have long considered as the grand blessing of life, the basis of every virtue and independence I will ever secure by contracting my wants, though I were to live on a barren heath.
Mary Wollstonecraft
It is justice, not charity, that is wanting in the world.
Mary Wollstonecraft

Mary Wollstonecraft
