Excerpt from Gems of Womanhood: Or, Sketches of Distinguished Women in Various Ages and Nations In the history of the world, back to the remotest ages, there are passages at every stage of human progress which assert the influence of womankind upon the destiny of nations. Yet that influence seldom appears in a prominent position from being hid among the overwhelming events it has assisted in maturing. Nevertheless, it is acknowledged by the most eminent historians and biographers, that women have succeeded where men have failed, in developing some of the grandest chapters of history. It is the object of this unpretending volume to elucidate the subject in a series of brief sketches of female life and character, selected from the annals of various ages and nations, as "Gems of Womanhood, " from which the rising female generation may take example.
