Copyright 1893 By Matilda Joslyn Gage
This Book is Inscribed to the Memory of my Mother, who was at once mother, sister, friend:
Dedicated to all Christian women and men, of whatever creed or name who, bound by Church or State, have not dared to Think for Themselves:
Addressed to all Persons, who, breaking away from custom and the usage of ages, dare seek Truth for the sake of Truth. To all such it will be welcome; to all others aggressive and educational.
