Pioneer Work for Women (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Pioneer Work for Women For we cannot tarry here, We must march, my darlings, we must bear the brunt cf danger, We the youthful sinewy races, all the rest on us depend, Pioneers! Opioneers! Have the elder races halted? Do they droop and end their lesson, wearied over there beyond the seas? We take up the task eternal, and the burden and the lesson, Pioneers! Opioneers! Not for delectations sweet, Not the cushion and the slipper, not the peaceful and the studious, Not the riches safe and palling, not for us the tame enjoyment, Pioneers! Opioneers! Do the casters gluttonous feast? Do the corpulent sleepers sleep? have they lock dand bolted doors? Still be ours the diet hard, and the blanket on the ground, Pioneers! Opioneers! This book has long been known and cherished by a few, but when it was first published, nearly twenty years ago, it made no wide appeal. It was caviare to the general. But the world has moved on a long way since 1895, and where it found an appreciative reader then, it should find a thousand now. It is in substance, though not in name, an autobiography; and it tells the tale of one of the most courageous and successful pieces of pioneering that has ever been accomplished by man or woman.
