Wollstonecraft vs Rousseau: should woman be reasoned or adorned?

You would school your Émile in reason, then raise Sophie only to please him—liberty for the boy, a leash for the girl.

Nature made woman gentle, to charm and to nurture; strain her toward the study and you unstring the harmony of the home.

You mistake the effect of a poor education for a law of nature; deny her the book, then blame her ignorance.

I ask only that she follow her heart—

Then give her a mind first, Jean-Jacques, for a heart that cannot reason is merely a well-dressed prisoner.
