Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Banner With the New Device, Women's Place in Nature, in Civilization, and in Government
That woman who has no higher object of thought than the cooking of a good dinner, compounding a good pudding, mending old clothes, or hemming dish-towels or, to be a little more refined, whose thoughts centre on nothing more important than an elegant dress, beautiful embroidery, parties, dances, and gen teel gossip concerning the domestic affairs of the Smiths and Browns can never give to the world a Bacon or a Newton, a Milton or a Howard, a Buonaparte or a Washington.
