A woman, however, whose memory has been blackened and calumniated, whose name has been spoken in contempt, whose virtues have been too frequently overlooked or forgotten, and whose mistakes have been held up to the world's scorn as positive vices. Some who remember only her avowed Deism, her socialistic theories, her open disregard and contempt for the marriage cere'mony, her bold handling of subjects foreign to the accepted idea of womanly delicacy, her scornful ridicule of all those clinging, dependent graces which are held to endear her sex. to the heart of man, may dissent from my estimate of her worth; but for myself I 'cannot see my way out of giving her the high place she merits, when I remember her earnestness, her perseverance, her unconquerable courage, her faith in humanity, her noble charity and self-forgetfulncss, her fidelity in friendship, her generous, forgiving spirit, and her hearty detestation of everything false or trivial. Hers was a hard life from its beginning. Her father, an Englishman, by the name of Edward John Wollstonecraft, was obstinate, unthrifty, unreasonable, and domineering. Her Irish mother was weak, with no true idea of parental government, and slavishly fearful of her husband's bad temper. It was the domestic tyranny of her father which first disgusted Mary's girlish but thoughtful mind with the marriage laws--that gave to such a man absolute, autocratic control over his family--and which turned her attention at a very early age to those subjects the consideration of which made her the daring iconoclast she afterward became. The habits of the family were so migratory...

Excerpt from Heroines of Modern Progress In all causes, in all lands, the woman who steps aside from the beaten path, the pioneer woman, must make her decision and abide by it: she must live her life alone. She may be sur rounded by family and friends, but if she does not shun what they proscribe and seek what they ordain, her inner life must be passed in soli tude. For creeds and philosophies she has no care, unless she can apply them, though she has tried all those of man's invention.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Heroines of Domestic Life The aphorisms of great men are not always to be taken unreservedly; since in them the world encon rages the license of assumption.
