Quote by Mary Wollstonecraft
The divine right of husbands, like the divine right of kings, may, it is hoped, in this enlightened age, be contested without danger.
Summary
This quote suggests that just like the idea of divine right of kings, the perceived superiority or entitlement of husbands over their wives can and should be questioned in modern times without fear or risk. It implies that society has progressed and become more enlightened, therefore challenging the notion of husbands having absolute authority over their female partners is now considered acceptable and necessary for progress.
