Sophia Fermor
I think it evidently appears, that there is no science, office, or dignity, which Women have not an equal right to share in with the Men: Since there can be no superiority, but that of brutal strength, shewn in the latter, to entitle them to engross all power and prerogative to themselves: nor any incapacity proved in the former, to disqualify them of their right, but what is owing to the unjust oppression of the Men, and might be easily removed.
Lady Sophia Fermor, Woman Not Inferior to Man

Each thing called improvement seems blackened with crimes, If it tears up one record of blissful old times.
Susanna Blamire
