Excerpt from Famous Types of Womanhood When Matthew Vassar gave a million dollars to found Vassar College, he said, I considered that the mothers of a country mould its citizens, determine its institutions, and shape its destiny. Without doubt he was right. Though not all the women in this book were mothers, they helped to do that which Mr. Vassar considered directly traceable to woman's influence. Queen Louise was the inspirer of German unity; Madame Recamier will always be a social force from her charm Of manner and loveliness of character; the results of Mrs. Wesley's life are incal culable; Harriet Martineau moulded public opinion as few have moulded it; Jenny Lind taught the world how to use a marvellous gift for good; Miss Dix will show to future generations what a retiring, devoted woman can do for humanity. The power of true womanhood, in all civilized lands, is increasing year by year, and with increase of power comes increase of responsibility.
