Overview

Excerpt from Woman: In All Ages and in All Countries; Greek Women Women have achieved their most decisive and remark able efi-'ects 'upon the history of mankind br reaching and clinging to extremes. Extremism is always a mark of en thusiasm, and enthusiasm accomplishes effects which must have been left forever unattained by mere regulated and con scientious efi'ort. The stories of the Christian martyrs show in golden letters the devotion of women to a cause; and! Have no doubt whatever that it was in the deaths of young maidens, in their hideous sufferings borne with resignation and even joy, that there came the conviction of truth which is known as the seed which was sown in the blood of the maryrs. The high enthusiasm which supported a Catherine and a Cecilia in their hours of trial was strong to persuade, where the death of a man for his convictions would have been looked upon as a matter of course. It is from this enthusiasm and extremism that there sounds one of the key notes of woman's nature - her loyalty. Lgralbr is one of the blending traits of the sexes yet, if I were compefled to attribute it distinctively to one sex, I should class it as feminine in its nature.
