Besides, it offers a larger\u003cbr\u003escope, and is, in that way, more just to my desire. I meant by that\u003cbr\u003etitle to intimate the fact that, while it is the destiny of Man, in\u003cbr\u003ethe course of the ages, to ascertain and fulfil the law of his being,\u003cbr\u003eso that his life shall be seen, as a whole, to be that of an angel or\u003cbr\u003emessenger, the action of prejudices and passions which attend, in the\u003cbr\u003eday, the growth of the individual, is continually obstructing the holy\u003cbr\u003ework that is to make the earth a part of heaven. By Man I mean both\u003cbr\u003eman and woman; these are the two halves of one thought. I lay no\u003cbr\u003eespecial stress on the welfare of either. I believe that the\u003cbr\u003edevelopment of the one cannot be effected without that of the other.\u003cbr\u003eMy highest wish is that this truth should be distinctly and rationally\u003cbr\u003eapprehended, and the conditions of life and freedom recognized as the\u003cbr\u003esame for the daughters and the sons of time; twin exponents of a\u003cbr\u003edivine thought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI solicit a sincere and patient attention from those who open the\u003cbr\u003efollowing pages at all. I solicit of women that they will lay it to\u003cbr\u003eheart to ascertain what is for them the liberty of law. It is for\u003cbr\u003ethis, and not for any, the largest, extension of partial privileges\u003cbr\u003ethat I seek. I ask them, if interested by these suggestions, to search\u003cbr\u003etheir own experience and intuitions for better, and fill up with fit\u003cbr\u003ematerials the trenches that hedge them in. From men I ask a noble and\u003cbr\u003eearnest attention to anything that can be offered on this great and\u003cbr\u003estill obscure subject, such as I have met from many with whom I stand\u003cbr\u003ein private relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd may truth, unpolluted by prejudice, vanity or selfishness, be\u003cbr\u003egranted daily more and more as the due of inheritance, and only\u003cbr\u003evaluable conquest for us all!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e_November_, 1844.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWOMAN IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e       *       *       *       *       *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \"Frailty, thy name is WOMAN.\"\u003cbr\u003e  \"The Earth waits for her Queen.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe connection between these quotations may not be obvious, but it is\u003cbr\u003estrict.
