"HISTORY has in the main been written by men and about men. This was generally in accord with the
spirit of the times when men were dominant in most worldly affairs. In the following
pages we have
aimed to do tardy justice to the memory of the women who have so splendidly done their
part in helping onward the progressing destinies
of the human race not alone as mothers, bearing sturdy sons
and daughters, but, by precept and example, training them to independent
thinking and to brave, honest, and patriotic living. Of the individual lives of a great majority of these
women, no one may know;
the details have been lost in the lapse of years.
"But here and there tradition or record has brought into bolder relief some noted woman who, by the accident
of birth or station, dramatic
incident or native force of character, has been helpful in the making of history.
These volumes have been prepared not only to perpetuate the memory of such women, but to accentuate
the lessons they have left behind in the making of good citizens and broader and
better men and women."
