Wollstonecraft

• Female sensibility is “overstretched”; weaponised by men - an instrument of power; 
• Sensibility “degrades the individual”
• women become "prey to their senses" - "blown about by every momentary gust of feeling"
• Letters: "With trembling hand I shall cultivate sensibility, and cherish delicacy of sentiment"
• "the enlargement of mind and refined feelings [...] barb the arrows of sorrow " - 'reveries' (as something as sentimental )
• "I sharpen the thorns that will wound the breast I would fain guard [...] Hapless woman! what a fate is thine!"
