Quotes by Concepción Arenal (?)

“Se supone que todas las mujeres son madres, que todas pueden dedicarse exclusivamente al cuidado de sus hijos, y que toda la vida de la mujer necesita estar empleada en llenar los deberes materiales, minuciosos, incesantes de la maternidad. Partiendo de supuestos falsos, las consecuencias no pueden ser verdaderas.”
― Concepción Arenal, La Educación De La Mujer

“El deseo de agradar [de la mujer], que torcido por una educación absurda la lleva con frecuencia a ridículas frivolidades, la hace muy sensible a la reprobación, y en muchos casos le sirve de freno.”
― Concepción Arenal, La mujer del porvenir (Pensamiento)

“Otro inconveniente de no levantar el espíritu de la mujer a las cosas grandes es hacerla esclava de las pequeñas. Las minuciosidades inútiles y enojosas, los caprichos, la idolatría por la moda, la vanidad pueril.”
― Concepción Arenal, La mujer del porvenir (Pensamiento)
