"WOMEN" A page from an 18th century Woman's Diary

A page from an 18th century woman's diary or journal.

What makes this so special are the revealing and moving words she writes.
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It sometimes happens that a woman cannot consult anything as (unhappy?) as her own inclinations"

 

"There are some men who allow the fair sex no virtue because they offer them no (favour?)"

 

"A woman finds it a harder task to disguise her passions than to discover them"

 

"Most men like in a woman what is most opposite to their own character"

 

"Tho' a woman may sell her passion she always gives her heart"
