The author's most famous work, " . . . a rational plea for a rational basis to the relation between the sexes . . . Its chief object was to show that women were not the playthings of men but ought to be their equal partners, which they could be only if they were educated in the same way"--Printing and the Mind of Man 242 (original edition, same year).
