The book is a powerful and inspiring account of the determination and resilience of women throughout history and serves as a reminder of the ongoing fight for gender equality.The unbounded confidence they placed in me was surprising; for they often brought their business papers for me to examine, to see whether they were right. One man brought me a note, as the employer could not pay him for his work in money. He said it was a note for groceries; but the grocer refused to take it, and said it was not good. I told him there was neither date nor name to it. I wrote the man a letter, asking him to rectify the mistake, which he did; but he gave his employee credit for only half the days he had worked. They were so often deceived and cheated in many ways, because of their extreme ignorance, that I did not wonder at the conclusion one escaped fugitive had reached.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
