Heroines of Service by Mary Rosetta Parkman

Mary Rosetta Parkman’s present book ‘Heroines of Service’ is a compiled account of some important women in europe first published in the year 1921. “The service of the true woman is always “womanly.” She gives something of the fostering care of the mother, whether it be as nurse, like Clara Barton; as teacher, like Maryix Lyon and Alice Freeman Palmer; or as social helper, like Jane Addams. So it is that the service of these “heroines” is that which only women could have given to the world.” -Preface
