Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the General Federation of Women´s Clubs: For the First Twenty-Two Years of Its Organization The General Federation has passed its majority. For an organization with such genuine conservative action through a score of years, it is time we should look into the past, and present to those who follow its origin, the trend of life, the place the women of America hold among the women of the world, and the credit we wish to give to the men of our generation and of our country for most helpful cooperation. There has been constant constructive philosophy, literary, educational, civic, and altruistic, with no distinct period of demarcation, rather each working into and bringing out the most ideal and practical features of the other. Each administration has been in a sense personal, because the policy has been trusted to the presiding officer, but each has been wisely led, no fads or fancies allowed to creep in, and no exploiting of the organization for personal ends. When, upon order of the Convention at Cincinnati, the Committee was appointed to consider the history and bring recommendations to the Board of Directors, the names of those you will note in the book seemed peculiarly appropriate, from tried devotion, historical knowledge, and literary ability. This committee at large, without the knowledge of the one member upon whose brain and hands should fall the burden, recommended the editor, and this recommendation was unanimously adopted by the Board. We need hardly say to our readers that under such an editor the book offers historical accuracy in retrospect and action, keen insight into causes preceding this great union of force, as well as into the future possibility of well-directed effort, and a literary fascination that holds even the uninitiated. As a book of reference, it should be hi every library and upon every club table. Whatever comes to woman - work with the duties of citizenship or without - we should be ready with knowledge, judgment, and poise for conservative and progressive action.
