Venus, in our abstract North, in this chilly Christian world, must envelop herself in folds of heavy furs, so as not to freeze.
Venus im Pelz (1870)
That woman, as nature has created her and as man is at present educating her, is his enemy. She can only be his slave or his despot, but never his companion. This she can become only when she has the same rights as he, and is his equal in education and work.
It is really a joy to slip furs around a beautiful, luxurious woman, to see and feel how her neck, her lovely limbs snuggle against the costly soft furs, to lift the stray locks of her hair, and place them outside the collar, and when she takes off her cloak and the cosy warmth and the subtle scent of her body lingers on the tips of the sable, the effect is overpowering.
