Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on Female Character, Addressed to a Young Lady, on the Death of Her Mother IN this age of intellectual improvement, women have been admitted to a liberal participation of intellectual privileges. The lights of science and knowledge have been suffered to penetrate the night of ignorance, in which custom and prejudice had enveloped the female mind. There exists no longer that watchful jealousy of every step towards emancipation, which once made man the tyrant and op pressor of his feminine coadjutor. Women hold their appropriate station in the scale of being, without contention. They are allowed to mingle freely in the minor concerns of the social compact, and have full scope afforded to their latent energies. Their minds are no longer cramped by rigid, domestic discipline, but soar above the narrow limits of family avocations, and catch a glimpse of those lights hitherto reserved for their master Spirits. The consequences of this partial illumination, are fraught with beneficial effects to social life. Man has truly a help meet, and woman is fulfilling her destiny according to the original design of her Maker.
