Book Description
Excerpt from Daughters of America: Or, Women of the Century America has been richly blessed in its women, as well as its men, of patriotism, intelligence, usefulness, and moral worth. Indeed, it has been a marvel to many in the Old World, that the women of the New have been in many instances so thoroughly cultured, so admirably developed morally and intellectually, amid so much that was new and therefore crude in society, and in a freedom which the women of European nations have never enjoyed, and of which those of Asiatic peoples never dreamed. A cultured Christian women of English birth and education, but now in a lovely Scottish home, wrote to the writer of this volume, that, when visiting America, that which she most enjoyed "was the sense of freedom," - a freedom which has been the high privilege of the women of our first century, and will be yet more the glorious heritage of the women of the second, as the ripened fruit is garnered from the promise-blossom. "It seemed to me," wrote the lady above mentioned, "that by that freedom I was lifted up to a larger and diviner life, and a tender and reverent expectation of glorious possibilities for our race, and especially for women."

Book Description
Excerpt from Women in American History Value of Woman's Work. - From the founding of the first English settlements in the New World the women of America have bravely and nobly done their part in making our country a great nation. It is true that the pages of history are filled with stories of the deeds of men, while not many names of women are recorded. The reason for this is that woman's work for the most part has been done quietly and inconspicuously. The home has been her Kingdom, and until recent years there was no place for her in public life. To men were left the making of wars, the administration of government, and the leadership of movements affecting communities and states. But even before she entered public life woman's part in the making of our history was just as important as that of men. Women as Home Makers. - You remember how in the Virginia colony the womanless settlement at Jamestown was rapidly drifting to ruin through homesickness, discontent and idleness. Then a shipload of English maidens arrived at the Virginia shores. The young women became the wives of the settlers and established real homes in the wilderness.

Excerpt from Woman, and Her Place in a Free Society She, more and more, accepting as inevitable the situation; moving, sad-eyed, to her patient and uncom plaining work; to the narrow sphere and petty details of household labor and life, and to the obscurity of unrecognised cares and interests; filling the world with her myriad nameless unrecorded acts of tenderness and love, of drudgery and daily tendance, of patience and self-effacement, little noticed and less understood; yet all the while with her own impulses and character, her own talents and genius, smothered away and blighted by confinement and neglect; her brain dwarfed; and her outlook on the world marred by all falsity and ignorance. Guchhasbeenatheufateigf., w.qman through the centuries. Till at last, becoming indeed only too firmed to the external conditions of her life, she has often even mentally lapsed into the chattel and property of the male, and (like the wage-earner) been able only to see her good in clinging for support to the very person who used her for his profit and his pleasure.

Book Description
Excerpt from Women Workers and Society HE labor of women outside Of the home constitutes one of the most vital problems in American life. The reason for this is two fold: first, the fact that, to an unprecedented degree, women are engaging in gainful occupa tions; and second, the effect of their labor upon marriage and upon the home. Thus it is apparent that the labor of women evokes an interest quite apart from its physical aecom plishment. It is the social effect of such labor that awakens thought, and ultimately resolves itself into action. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
