Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Worthy Women of Our First Century The volume here offered to the public is so far from fulfilling the hopes of the editors that they think it due to those under whose auspices it is published to give an idea of what it was meant to be, and of the causes of its partial failure. The work was undertaken by the desire of the Women´s Department of the Centennial Commission. They wished to connect their own labors with a record of the lives of American women in earlier × to show what they had been and effected under the difficulties, domestic, social, and political, which are to be found in all new countries and civilizations while the roads are being made; to offer to their young countrywomen honorable models and examples. The intention was to collect a series of brief biographies, one for each of the original States, so as to illustrate the very various conditions and demands of life in the older parts of the country. The choice of subjects in point of date ranged from the colonial epoch to the last generation. It was not thought desirable to include any one still living or but lately dead. This necessarily excluded so many of the States that it confirmed the limitation to the first, contemporaneous, thirteen. In order that the work might not be too voluminous, each State was restricted to one memoir. It was not requisite that the subject should have been a woman connected with Revolutionary times or historical events, although especial interest attaches to those who were. The conspicuous women of the Revolution, and indeed of America down almost to the present day, had found biographers in Mrs. S. J. Hale and Mrs. E. F. Ellett.
