Jean Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) The quote is from the first line of the first chapter of book 1 of "The Social Contract" (1762).
The feminist who wrote "woman is born free" was French playwright and political activist, Olympe de Gouges.It was originally written in a political pamphlet titled 'Rights of Women', during the French Revolution.The original sentence was: "Woman is born free and her rights are the same as those of man. If women have the right to go to the scaffold, they must also have the right to go to Parliament".
This quote is from French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau in his work "The Social Contract." Rousseau believed that society's institutions and rules limit individual freedoms, though people are born naturally free.
Man is born free with absolute natural liberty but man is the weakest of animals and in order to survive lives in synergy with a social group for security and mutual benefit as viewed in social philosophy (Rousseau ) .Man has made a social contract and as a social animal has to fore-go a part of his liberty for welfare of the society. The greater his dependence on society the greater is his freedom curtailed in laws that restrict absolute liberty.
