Poem: “An epistle to Mr. pope” by Anne Ingram

Comments: probably too polite but to be honest, this is something I’m guilty of myself.
Translation/summary:
Women aren’t inherently differently capacitated than men, they simply don’t get taught. Roman and Greek women, educated in both rational and moral matters, gave great displays of intelligence and courage. So why doesn’t Pope help educate them instead of criticizing?
