The female warrior knows how to fight without violence. She knows when not to raise her sword, but instead hold up her heart. Her shield is not a defense against others but a shelter for all.

About This Quote

The female warrior knows how to fight without violence. She knows when not to raise her sword, but instead hold up her heart. Her shield is not a defense against others but a shelter for all. This quote is an ode to one of the most well respected women in the history of the world.

It was written by Mary Wollstonecraft, an English writer and philosopher who was born in 1759 and died in 1797. She is known primarily for A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, published in 1792. Her ideas about the rights of women were revolutionary for her time.

She argued that women should be allowed to vote and hold political office, and she also said that women should be educated in the same way as men. This quote may be attributed to Mary Wollstonecraft because she is credited with popularizing it in an essay, “The Wrongs of Women,” which was published anonymously in 1792.
