Mary Wollstonecraft Quote ~ Women

“The conduct and manner of women proves that their minds are not in a healthy state; for, like the flowers that are planted in too rich a soil,  strength and usefulness are sacrificed 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.”
Alfred J. Woolmer art.
