Heroines

Heroines: "Michael, Charles D. Heroines: True Tales of Brave Women. London: S. W. Partridge, [19--]. 'Bravery and self-sacrifice are natural qualities in men, or so we love to think; but men have no monopoly of heroism. In their capacity for suffering uncomplainingly, and in their power of patient endurance, women are, as a matter of fact more heroic by nature than men.'"
