This essay is placed here because it is all about women's value and sex being limited. The very first line of the essay states, "Blessed thou, Reader, if you are not of that sex which one forbids everything of value, thereby depriving it of liberty; indeed, to which one also forbids almost all virtues, removing from it public duties, responsibilities, and functions-in a word, cutting it off from power..." (101). This falls in line with Emma, Viola, and Portia because they are cut off from power, yet they still try to wield it in clever ways.
