HISTORIC GIRLS : Stories of girls who have influenced 

 the history of their times. By E. S. Brooks. Profusely 

 illustrated $2 oo 



In these progressive days when so much energy and discussion are de- 

 voted to what is termed equality and the rights of women, it is well to 

 remember that there have been in the distant past women, and girls even, 

 who by their actions and endeavors proved themselves the equals of the 

 men of their time in valor, shrewdness, and ability. 



This volume seeks to tell for the girls and boys of to-day the stories of 

 some of their sisters of the long ago — girls who by eminent position or 

 valiant deeds became historic even before they had passed the charming 

 season of girlhood. 



"EDITH OF SCOTLAND." 

 (Reduced from " Historic Girls.") 



Their stories are fruitful of varying lessons ; for some of these historic girls 

 were wilful as well as courageous, and mischievous as well as tender-hearted.
