Book Description

Excerpt from Noble Deeds American Women: With Biographical Sketches of Some of the More Prominent This work was suggested by one of a similar character, entitled Noble Deeds of Woman, an English work, which contains but three references to American Women, two of which are of but very little importance. Only one article in the two works is alike, and that is the letter written by Mrs. Sigourney to the women of Greece, in 1828, in behalf of the ladies of Hartford. This failure to do justice to American women, may have been an oversight; be that as it may, a work of the kind here presented, seemed to be needed, and we regret that its preparation had not been assigned to an abler pen.
