Woman's superior excellence over man : Or, A reply to the author of a late treatise, entitled, Man superior to woman. In which, the excessive weakness of that gentleman's answer to woman not inferior to man is exposed; with a plain demonstration of woman's natural right even to superiority over the men in head and heart; proving their minds as much more beautiful than the men's as their bodies are; and that, had they the same advantages of education, they would excel them as much in sense as they do in virtue.
