Evidence: | Catherine Talbot to Elizabeth Carter, in response to Carter's attack on the perceived misogyny of Richardson's 'Rambler' essay:
'Fie upon you! indeed I see no harm in that poor Paper, and must own myself particularly fond of it. He does not pretend to give a scheme (not an entire scheme) of female education, only to say how when well educated they should behave, in opposition to the racketing life of the Ranelagh-education misses of these our days. Do read it over again a little candidly. How can you imagine that the author of Clarissa has not an idea enough of what women may be, and ought to be?' |
