We live in an age when too many women appear to be ambitious of morally Unsexing themselves before society, by aping the language and the manners of men-especially in reference to that miserable modern dandyism of demeanour, which aims at repressing all betrayal of warmth of feeling; which abstains from displaying any enthusiasm on any subject whatever; which, in short, labours to make the fashionable imperturbability of the face the faithful reflection of the fashionable imperturbability of the mind.
"Basil"
Wilkie Collins
That it has become one with less enlightened races in the deliberate Unsexing and degradation of womanhood does not now, and will not in the future, redound to its credit.
"God's Good Man"
Marie Corelli
Men, on the other hand, thought Mary was Unsexing herself by her arguments, which seemed to interfere with their rights,-an interference they could not brook.
"Mary Wollstonecraft"
Elizabeth Robins Pennell
