Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Madeline McDowell Breckinridge: A Leader in the New South In preparing the following statement with reference to my sister´s work, I have been moved by many conflicting emotions. When I have thought of her, herself, I have felt so inadequate to any revelation of that self that I have let my pencil drop from halting fingers. We knew each other first as "grown girls" in the years 1892 to 1895, and she never after that questioned my love for her. But to love her is not to be able to reveal or to interpret her, and it would be easier to rest back on my inability. But her work is there, and the record of that work can be entered; the achievements in legislation proposed, formulated, urged, and later interpreted and executed, in two great institutions builded, in organizations developed, and in the vote for the women of her state and of the United States secured, are there to be stated, and there are reasons why that record should be made now rather than later. There seemed to be no one else who at the moment had both the time and the access to papers, letters, minutes of agencies that must be the basis of any statement. I suppose the most truly humble will undertake a task, however inadequate she feels, if the task should be performed and there is no one else at hand to undertake it. It is in that spirit that the following chapters have been written. Perhaps at some later date an artist may portray her radiant personality, her courage, her gay and childlike humor, her sparkling delight in beauty everywhere.
