--Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, 1792
...reading this sort of thing is part of why I'm really enjoying my Philosophy class. I guess Otherkin aren't such a new concept after all.
Incidentally, I disagree with the actual point of the paragraph, but that passage seemed rather... relevant, somehow.
edit: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/3420 has the full text of the book, for the curious.

kistaro http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/3420 has more information about the book if you're curious. Most notably, it has a text file of the entire book, since the copyright died over a century ago- ctrl-F (Find) for the quote if you want to see the full context.
