Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mothers in Israel: A Study in Rustic Amenities
Fathers styled Back-biting. The Lady of the Hall; the other-half of the Parson; the Good Wife of the Farmstead; the Woman of the Cottage; all these, in their degree, are at all times ready to hear scandal, to improve upon scandal, to spread scandal. They have no greater pleasure - I speak of them as a Whole than to slay a reputation and to destroy a good name. If the name and reputation be those of a stranger, good; if of a woman, so much the better. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
