today is for private dreams and self-determination (27 April 2016)

The beginning is always today.

- Mary Wollstonecraft

I do not wish them [women] to have power over men; but over themselves.

- Mary Wollstonecraft A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

My dreams were all my own; I accounted for them to nobody; they were my refuge when annoyed - my dearest pleasure when free.

- Mary Wollstonecraft

Taught from their infancy that beauty is woman's sceptre, the mind shapes itself to the body, and roaming round its gilt cage, only seeks to adorn its prison.

― Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

  

[I]f we revert to history, we shall find that the women who have distinguished themselves have neither been the most beautiful nor the most gentle of their sex.

- Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
