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...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive collection of speeches and writings of one of America's most important social reformers Celebrated as the most famous woman in America at the time of her death in 1898, Frances E. Willard was a leading nineteenth-century American temperance and women's rights reformer and a powerful orator. President of Evanston College for Ladies (before it merged with Northwestern University) and then professor of rhetoric and aesthetics and the first dean of women at Northwestern, Willard is best known for leading the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), America's largest women's organization. The WCTU shaped both domestic and international opinion on major political, economic, and social reform issues, including temperance, women's rights, and the rising labor movement. In what Willard regarded as her most important and far-reaching reform, she championed a new ideal of a powerful, independent womanhood and encouraged women to become active agents of social change. Willard's reputation as a powerful reformer reached its height with her election as president of the National Council of Women in 1888. This definitive collection follows Willard's public reform career, providing primary documents as well as the historical context necessary to clearly demonstrate her skill as a speaker and writer who addressed audiences as diverse as political conventions, national women's organizations, teen girls, state legislators, church groups, and temperance advocates. Including Willard's representative speeches and published writings on everything from temperance and women's rights to the new labor movement and Christian socialism, Let Something Good Be Said is the first volume to collect the messages of one of America's most important social reformers who inspired a generation of women to activism.
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.

This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Frances E. Willard Said You cannot dream yourself into a char acter. 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.
