Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Women and the World War The purpose of this book is twofold: first, to discover to American women themselves their tremendous opportunities and responsibilities in the present world conflict; second, to record in a form that is in some degree permanent the actual beginnings of the greatest massed effort of women the world has ever known. History has not been attempted, because history has not yet been made; events of engaging interest, often of international import, follow each other with lightning-like rapidity, and scarcely can a situation be described before one more vital, more interesting, develops. But if this book shall serve as an inspiration, or shall form the groundwork of a future history of woman´s part in the war, one of its chief purposes will have been accomplished. I wish particularly to emphasize one fact. The basis of the story I have used of the work in the various states is the organization of the Woman´s Committee of the Council of National Defense. In every state, the work of individual organizations has been of supreme value - the Federated Clubs, Daughters of the American Revolution, Young Women´s Christian Association, Woman´s Christian Temperance Union, Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers Association, Council of Jewish Women, National League for Woman´s Service, and scores of other great organizations of women have worked intelligently, unceasingly, and to fine purpose, in every state.
