Book Description
Excerpt from Sketches of Some Distinguished Indian Women In her Introduction, Mrs. Chapman expresses some fear lest people in England should begin to weary of the subject of Indian women, so much having been written of late concerning them and their peculiar trials. But this little book needs no apology; and I, for one, have never read anything more interesting or more likely to be useful to the cause of female education in India than this small collection of biographies. No one will read these Sketches of some Distinguished Indian Women without a feeling of intense sympathy and admiration for the subject of each one of them; or without pride and pleasure in the fact that so much talent, perseverance, and determination should be found combined with so much gentleness, and with so many truly feminine qualities.

Book Description
Excerpt from Gems of India: Or, Sketches of Distinguished Hindoo and Mahomedan Women Ever since the Taj Mahal, that incomparable mausoleum of Mumtaz Mahal, the lovely and beloved queen of Shah Jahan, met my vision, a new interest in the women of India was kindled in my mind, and I resolved to make their past and present condition and capabilities matters of study and research as far as practicable; but, amid the manifold cares, labors, and illnesses incident to missionary life in the trying climate of India, I found but little opportunity to carry out my resolve. From time to time, however, when items of interest came in my way, I made memoranda, which, with the information given in authentic histories, and the traditions of the people, have enabled me to gather material for these sketches. It is always difficult to find reliable accounts of the characters of even distinguished persons after the lapse of busy centuries, and this is particularly the case in India on account of the national proclivity to indulge in the mythical and the marvelous. Several of the sketches are, therefore, unavoidably meager in details of personal characteristics, and the capabilities of the subjects are brought out mostly by historical incidents, which show their conduct under certain circumstances.

Book Description
Excerpt from Daughters of Genius, or World's Famous Women: A Series of Sketches of Women Who Have Won Distinction by Their Genius and Achievements of Authors, Artists, Actors, Rulers, or Within the Precents of Home The praise she most enjoyed, however, was that of her friends; and the most preclous tribute to her powers was not that of the critics. She always looked back with peculiar pride to one evening at an entertainment in a fashionable house in New York, when she sang Kathleen Mavourneen to a large company. While she was singing a young Irish serving maid entered the room with a tray in her hand, and was so overcome with emotion, that for getting her duties and her deportment alike, she sank down in a chair and burst into tears. At another time, at a hotel in the mountains, where Miss Phillips had refused to sing in public, having gone there in search of rest, 3she was found seated in the kitchen surrounded by guides and servants, all crying heartily at her pathetic singing of Auld Robin Gray.
