So I am doing my homework assignment for on of my classes and just came upon the most inspiring verse I have ever read. This is about to be really long but if you scroll through and read this you might like it. The strongest reason for giving woman all the opportunities for high education, for the full development of her faculties, forces of mind and body; for giving her the most enlarged freedom of through and action; a complete emancipation from all forms of bondage, of custom, dependence, superstition; from all the crippling influences of fear- is the solitude and person responsibility of her own individual life. The strongest reason why we ask for women a vice in the government under which she lives; in the religion she is asked to believe equality where she may earn her bread, is because of her birthright to self-sovereignty; because, as an individual, she must rely on herself. No matter how much women to refer to lean, to be protected and supported, nor how much men desire to have them do so, they must make the voyage of life alone, and for safety in an emergency, they must know something of the laws of navigation. To guide our own craft, we must be captain, pilot, engineer; with chart and compass to stand at the wheel; to watch the winder and waves, and know when to take in th sail, and to read the signs in the firmament over all. It matters not whether the solitary voyager is a man or women; nature, having endowed them equally, leaves them to their own skill and judgment in the hour of danger, and if not equal to the occasion. alike they perish. I hope everybody that reads this likes it. For some reason I found it absolutely great.
