Quoted By:
1769–1821: Napoleon Bonaparte
>"We treat women too well, and in this way have spoiled everything. We have done every wrong by raising them to our level. Truly the Oriental nations have more mind and sense than we in declaring the wife to be the actual property of the husband. In fact nature has made woman our slave ... Woman is given to man that she may bear children ... consequently she is his property."
>"Women ... are mere machines to make children".
>"Women ... are capable of committing the worst atrocities. . If war broke out between men and women, it would be quite a different business from the struggles we have seen between nobles and the people, or whites and blacks"
>"Nothing is more imperious ... than weakness when it knows it is backed by strength; look at women".
