Heroines of Service

"Heroines of Service" by Mary Rosetta Parkman is a compiled account of a few notable women in Europe. The service of the true woman is always «womanly.» She gives something of the fostering care of the mother, whether it be a nurse, like Clara Barton; as teachers, like Maryix Lyon and Alice Freeman Palmer; or as a social helper, like Jane Addams. So it is that the service of these «heroines» is that which only women could have given to the world.
