The True Woman / A Series of Discourses, to Which Is Added Woman vs. Ballot

A series of religious discourses argues for an idealized feminine role rooted in Scripture and redeemed by Christ, portraying woman as a God‑given helpmeet whose virtues—meekness, purity, love, and humility—belong chiefly to domestic, maternal, and ecclesial spheres. The author examines fallen deviations such as seduction, ritualism, and excessive Marian devotion, offers practical counsel on motherhood, household management, and female education, and opposes political enfranchisement by appeal to scriptural, natural, and commonsense arguments, while urging that women be honored, protected, and trained to fulfill a distinct social and spiritual mission.
