True Womanhood: Hints on the Formation of Womanly Character

Excerpt from True Womanhood: Hints on the Formation of Womanly Character N nineteenth century is in some a new 34' era for woman. A better education is o 'ered her; many novel spheres of activity are opened to her; and she is incited to ambitions of which hitherto she has been afraid. She has become the subject of much controversy; and she has entered into the debate far enough to experience its perplexities, if not to reach any fixed conclusions. The object of these pages is to remind her that the formation of a noble Christian char acter is still her highest duty, and also to aid her to distinguish the good and the evil in the tendencies of the time that affect her most strongly, and to point out some means by which she may avail herself of the one, and protect herself from the other.
