Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Woman: Her Rights, Wrongs, Privileges, and Responsibilities; Containing a Sketch of Her Condition in All Ages and Countries, From Her Creation and Fall in Eden to the Present Time; Her Present Legal Status in England, France, and the United States; Her Relations It has been deemed desirable to illustrate this work somewhat largely, but with due reference to its high character as a book which should be in the hands of every family. The illustrations are some of them of historical incidents, relating to the condition of woman in foreign countries and former × some refer to existing employments in other countries; some to the quiet beauty of a happy home; others to the various occupations in which woman has been, or is likely to be, engaged; while a few refer to that period, which we hope is far distant, when women will enter upon a political career, and forgetting the graces and delicacy which now cause them to be loved, honored, and reverenced, will become brawling politicians, greedy office-seekers, and bold, hard, unwomanly aspirants for place and power. We have sought, in these last illustrations, "to hold the mirror up to nature," not in an unkindly, but a dissuasive spirit, hoping that all sensible, thoughtful women, seeing what unseemly creatures they would become by plunging into a political career, might be led to avoid the danger, and give their powerful influence against it.
