Excerpt from Heroines of Modern ProgressIn all causes, in all lands, the woman who steps aside from the beaten path, the pioneer woman, must make her decision and abide by it she must live her life alone. She may be sur rounded by family and friends, but if she does not shun what they proscribe and seek what they ordain, her inner life must be passed in soli tude. For creeds and philosophies she has no care, unless she can apply them, though she has tried all those of man's invention.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
