Part of the American History & Genealogy Project

I have given to this work my love and enthusiasm. I believe that in this record of the achievements of the women of America we will find that which will spur on the women of the twentieth century, with their enlarged opportunities and high ambition, to the assuming of responsibilities and labors that would have appalled the bravest of the sex in the nineteenth century.

In offering you "The Part Taken by Women in American History" I do so with the confidence that it will appeal to you and that every woman in this broad land of ours will derive benefit and encouragement from the reading of the wonderful achievements of those of our sex who have done so much for the advancement of civilization and progress and welfare of our beloved country.

Cordially yours,
Mrs. John A. Logan
