The Penteteuch makes woman a mere after thought in creation; the author of evil; cursed in her maternity; a subject in marriage; and claims divine authority for that four-fold bondage, this whole-sale dessecration [sic] of the mothers of the race. I do not believe God ever made or inspired such sentiments.
