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.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The Pilgrim's Progress to Culture (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 148
Book Description
Excerpt from The Pilgrim's Progress to Culture It is for this reason that I say to my Pilgrims, who wish to progress, start by getting the acquaintance of some of the world's heroes and heroines. And for a beginning I advise my friends to go to Plutarch, whose words I have quoted above. His Lives have been a source of inspiration to eighteen centuries of the world's leaders. They are for all nations and all ages. No writings Of classical antiquity have had more influence upon thinking men and women from that time to ours; so that Plutarch may be called the interpreter of Greece and Rome to the modern world. It is not SO much for the historical material they contain, not for the facts they narrate, but because the author's aim was the accurate portraiture of character. He touched but briefly upon the famous actions which distinguish the careers of his heroes, believing that these do not show a man's virtues or failings so much as some lightly dropped phrase, some idiosyncrasy Of char acter, some jest, repartee, or trifling incident. As a French critic has truly said: It is moral truth, not historical truth, which he pursues; the latter is for him but the means, the former the object itself. He took for his subjects the men who founded the glory of ancient Greece and Rome. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Heroines of Freethought To-day we stand at the opening of a grand vista of civil and religious liberty. Science has sealed as the truth many of the hitherto vague questionings of those who, in honest search Of the truth, had long ago come to doubt creeds and dogmas. In time to come they who first dared to pioneer the way to perfect freedom of thought will be looked upon as the benefactors of those whom at first they only shocked. Among these bene factors must be counted the isolated women whose life-sketches make up this little volume. In selecting the subjects for these sketches, regard was had only to the thor ough Radicalism of the views they held. There are many noble women of Liberal tendencies of thought, whose names are well known, who have done good and effective work for Freethought so far as they under stood it; but the most of these have only succeeded in throwing aside creeds and all sectarianism, as belittling and cramping to the human mind, while still clinging to all.
