Book Description
Excerpt from Report of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union: For the Year Ending May 2, 1882 The great need of humanity is that people should do what is right. Proof of this comes to us through the columns of our daily papers, from the experiences of our daily lives. On what may we depend as a sure means of causing people to do what is right? On legal restraints, penal restraints, social restraints, family restraints, church restraints? We see that not one of them is sure. No outward restraint can be sure. A man, like a watch, is controlled by an inside force. In the watch, we call it mainspring in the man, character. And pulpit, press, and platform continually assert that the influence which most helps to determine character is woman's influence, as that more than any other impresses character while it is forming. Here, then, we have our chain, our logic. The country is ruled by individuals, ' character rules the individual, and character is to a very great degree determined by woman.
