Hume called women the weak and pious sex, and said men gallantly defer to them, concealing their superiority, especailly in polite company, since women were "sovereigns of the empire of conversation." But he withdrew this essay, and in less frivolous vein he pointed out that women have the power to break any conspiracy to deny them rights, since they have the power to conceal from their men who fathered the children they bear, and men, especially propertied men, desperately want such knowledge. So some feminists, such as Joan Tronto,have hailed him as ahead of his time. Hume also believed Elizabeth Tudor was one of England's ablest rulers, and praised the heroism of Joan of Arc.
