Miss Sarah Rosenstein talked of What
America Owes to Women"
While women, previous to the begin
ming of the present century, were not in
any considerable number represented in
the world of invention, science, art and
literature, they today have attained a
commanding position, in these and in
other lines Of activity formerly almost
wholly held by men.
They have gained a prominence in liter
ature, which places them in the front
ranks of living writer's, they ave won
for themselves new distinctions, in many
ways, and on man fields yet uncultiva-
ted.
Woman has always eagerly aVa1led
herself of all the opportunities offered
her, even if we look back to the four
tenth century, and consider what a dar-
ing deed, Queen Isabella of Castillo, un-
dertook, by assisting Columbus in the
discovery of America. Upon a woman's
heroism hung the discovery of a great
continent.
And can we forget those women who
took their rightful place during the
eventful days Of the Revolutionary War?
When fathers were called to war, moth
ers look up the hoe, which had been left
in the field, girls drove home the cows,
which the boys forsook when called to
battle. It is evident that the destiny of
the world today, as well as of former
days lies in the hearts and brains of its
women, and their influence of the past is
felt today.
