"Is there any thing better in a State than that both women and men be rendered the very best? There is not."-Plato. It is idle to say that what is right for man is wrong for woman. Pure reason, abstract right and wrong, have nothing to do with sex: they neither recognize nor know it. They teach that what is right or wrong for man is equally right and wrong for woman. Both sexes are bound by the same code of morals; both are amenable to the same divine law. Both have a right to do the best they can; or, to speak more justly, both should feel the duty, and have the opportunity, to do their best. Each must justify its existence by becoming a complete development of manhood and womanhood; and each should refuse whatever limits or dwarfs that development.

""Sex In Education Or, A Fair Chance For The Girls"" is a book written by Edward H. Clarke that explores the impact of education on the physical and mental health of young women. The book argues that girls are not biologically equipped to handle the rigorous demands of higher education and that excessive mental exertion can lead to a variety of physical and mental health problems, including infertility, nervous breakdowns, and even death. Clarke suggests that girls should be educated in a way that is tailored to their unique physiology and that excessive mental exertion should be avoided. The book caused controversy when it was first published in 1873, but it remains an important historical document that sheds light on the cultural attitudes towards women's education in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
