Excerpt from The Daughters of England: Their Position in Society, Character Responsibilities First, then, What is your position in society? For, until this point is clearly settled in your own mind, it would be vain to attempt any description of the plan to be pursued. The settlement of this point, however, must depend upon yourselves. Whether you are rich, or poor, an orphan, or the child of watchful parents - one of a numerous fami ly, or comparatively alone - filling an exalted or an humble position - of highly-gifted mind, or otherwise - all these points must be clearly ascertained before you can properly understand the kind of duty required of you. How these questions might be answered, is of no importance to the writer, in the present stage of this work. The importance of their being clearly and faithfully answered to yourselves, is all she would enforce. For my own purpose, it is not necessary to go further into your particular history or circumstances, than to re gard you as women, and, as I hope, Christian women. As Christian women, then, I address you. This is plac ing you on high ground, yet surely there are few of my young countrywomen who would be willing to take lower.
