Excerpt from Notable Women in History: The Lives of Women Who in All Ages, All Lands, and in All Womanly Occupations Have Won Fame and Put Their Imprint on the World's History Lord Raglan or Florence Nightingale did the more to reanimate the drooping spirits of the English soldiers in the Crimea. And as a dashing leader, a beaux sabreur, Sheridan in no degree surpassed Joan of Arc. Her white armor and flowing tresses rallied her waver ing troops as effectively as did that terrible oath which Little Phil. Is practically reputed to have ripped out on the twenty - mile ride to Winchester. These are extreme instances of course - extreme as to men as well as to women. But I think no one can read these sketches of seventy Women of History - it would not have been hard to collect three times as many - without appreciating some of the heights to which the feminine mind is capable of rising and the infinite variety of its flights. Let it be remembered that in all times and amidst all peoples of which we have knowledge the woman has been held the weaker vessel and the study of man has been to keep her weak. Not necessarily physically weak by any means. Wit ness the lordly husband of the tropics lolling at ease while his various wives till the fields. But weak in all that makes for personal initiative and independence. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
