Acerca de este título

Some Eminent Women of Our Times (which has been renamed Some Eminent Women of the 19th century) was written by Dame Millicent Garrett Fawcett in 1889.

It is available in the public domain and contains short biographies of various women who achieved great things both socially and in the literary field.

The women Dame Millicent includes were singled out by her because of their unstinting dedication, selflessness, and in many cases bravery to do what they thought was right. This was at a time at a time when women were afforded very few rights, education, or appreciation of any kind beyond that which was expected of a woman and her duty as mother, career, and wife.

I will add that when the book was written, the work reflected the values and social norms of that time, and some terminology that we may find unacceptable today was still used. I have left this as the author intended because it is relevant for the writing and for the time.

The author was a brilliant, courageous, and hard-working woman of her time, instrumental in obtaining votes for women in Britain, she was also a loving wife and mother. She is worthy of her own place in this book and a short biography has been included by the editor, Lianne Walker.

The list (23 in total) includes the likes of Queen Victoria, Florence Nightingale, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Caroline Herschel, Mary Somerville, Queen Louisa of Prussia, and The American Abolitionists to name a few.
