Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Frances E. Willard As the sharer of the intimate life of Frances E. Willard for more than a score of her heroic years, it is at once a pleasure and a privilege to record a few of the memories of this great leader who made the world wider for women and more homelike for humanity. In this sacred task the co-operation of Lady Henry Somerset, Dr. F. W. Gunsaulus, Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, and many other friends, is gratefully acknowledged. The accompanying biography is revised and abridged from a memorial volume issued in 1898. Subsequent honors paid to her sainted memory, the transient character of much of the material formerly used, the demand for a smaller book with wider perspective of this life as unique as it was great, and the fact that there is within the reach of the public, no complete record of one of Americas most noble citizens - these comprise a sufficient reason for the appearance of this work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Frances E. Willard: A Memorial Volume The sending forth of a Memorial Volume at the loving insistence of the General Officers of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union is a sad and sacred privilege intrusted to me because for twenty-one years God gave me that which was my highest joy, the opportunity to share the most toilsome period of Frances E. Willard's sublime and heroic life.

I could not have undertaken the work without the approval and sympathetic co-operation of Lady Henry Somerset, that loyal and great-hearted friend, who by the law of kinship among great souls was closely united to Miss Willard in endeavor, achievement and ideals. The generous assistance of two of Chicago's leading clergymen, Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus and Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, is also gratefully acknowledged, together with suggestions and contributions from many valued friends.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Uncrowned Queen: The Story of the Life of Frances E. Willard Told for Young People In the spring of the year 1846, travelers along the highway that led through the forests and swamps that lay between civilization and what was then called the Far West, might have seen, slowly making its way toward the land of the setting sun, a caravan, consisting of three canvas-covered wag ons, loaded with household goods and provisions, and containing members of a family, one of Whose names was to become illustrious on the pages of history. The steady-going horses of the first wagon were driven by the father of the family, Josiah Flint Willard; a man whose face showed him to be pos sessed of a keen and well-trained intellect and unusual determination, and who, on account of poor health, was leaving the cultured surroundings of his home in Oberlin, Ohio, where he had been teaching for some years, for the wild, free, western country, where prairies stretched acre upon acre in unmeasured lengths, where running streams watered the fields, and constant breezes kent the air pure and invigorating.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ...now think that this refers to the purer days of Christ's early church, when, as the New Testament so simply and beautifully says, "They had all things in common." There were then no rich, no poor, but all dwelt together in unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace. I believe this condition of things is as sure to return, as Christ is true, and I urge the study of this living question, warm with the love of God and of humanity. Why is it that people generally, and women especially, are so unwilling to have their ages known? We are immortal, and, for aught we know, eternal. We never regard Gabriel as old, though the prophet Daniel first introduced him to us. If we do not think of age when we think about eternity, why should we in time, which is only eternity cut off at both ends? The capacity of the human mind to resist knowledge is nowhere more painfully illustrated than in the postulate laid down by average minds that home is always to be just what it is now--forgetting that in no two consecutive generations has it remained the same; and the other postulate that man's relation to the home can never change--forgetting that the one constant quantity in his evanescent relations to every sublunary object has been change itself. I believe in uniform national marriage laws, in divorce for one cause only, in legal separation on account of drunkenness, but I would elevate and guard the marriage tie by every guarantee that could make it at the top of society the most coveted estate of the largest-natured and most endowed. In my thoughts I always liken the Woman's Christian Temperance Union to Joan of Arc whom God raised up for France, and who in spite of their muscle and their military prowess, "beat the English and crowned her King! But evermore...

You must hammer and forge your self into one. Some men say if women are ordained to preach, it will disrupt the home. As well might they talk of driving back the tides of the sea. The mother-heart will never change. Woman enters the arena of literature, art. Business - what you will - becomes a teacher, a physician, a philanthropist, but she is a woman first of all, and cannot deny herself. In all these great vocations she has still been true to the kindred points of heaven and home. Are they not all ministering spirits? Let us be glad of immortality, and of all those who have loved it, as all great souls have done. Let us wait like a sentry on duty, listening for the word of command in this brief earthly battle, that we may become skilled soldiers in the great unseen battle of the forces of good, when, with no weariness following our work, we are God's true, bright messengers to the suffering and be wildered of this world.

Download or read book Writing Out My Heart written by Frances Elizabeth Willard and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The journal of Frances E. Willard nineteenth-century America's most renowned and influential Woman had been hidden away in a cupboard at the National WCTU headquarters, and its importance eluded Willard's biographers. Writing Out My Heart publishes for the first time substantial portions of the forty-nine volumes rediscovered in 1982. They open a window on the remarkable inner life of this great public figure and cast her in a new light. No other female political leader of the period left a private record like this. Best known for her powerful leadership of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), at that time the nation's largest organized body of women, Willard was a world-class reform leader and feminist. How she achieved this stature has been documented. This compelling journal reveals why. Written during her teens, twenties, and fifties, the journal documents the creation of Frances Willard's self. At the same time, it often reads like a good novel. It stands as one of the most explicit and painful records in the nineteenth century of one woman's coming to terms with her love for women in a heterosexual world. Other sections reveal what impelled Willard to reform the nature and depth of the religious dimension of her life a dimension not yet adequately explored by any biographer. Here we see her growing commitment to the "cause of woman." The volumes written in her late middle age give insight into the years when, world famous, she was part of the transatlantic network of reform, battling ill health, dealing with controversy in the WCTU, and grieving for her mother, a lifelong figure of emotional support. This finale concludes one of the most fascinating of the journal's themes: the nineteenth-century confrontation with sickness and death. Drawn from one of the richest sources in documentary history, knowledgeably introduced and annotated, Writing Out My Heart is a biographical goldmine, rich in the themes and institutions central to women's lives in nineteenth-century America.
