    About this ebook

    "Heroines of Service" by Mary Rosetta Parkman is a compiled account of a few notable women in Europe. The service of the true woman is always "womanly." She gives something of the fostering care of the mother, whether it be a nurse, like Clara Barton; as teachers, like Maryix Lyon and Alice Freeman Palmer; or as a social helper, like Jane Addams. So it is that the service of these "heroines" is that which only women could have given to the world.

      1. My mother’s mother kept a set of painted wooden nesting dolls on top of her television. When I was small and went to her house, I would take the set apart and line up the five dolls on her living room floor, side by side, from biggest to smallest.

      There is a belief in Celtic folklore that if you linger in a place between two worlds, like at twilight where a meadow meets a wood, or at dawn between the shore and the sea, you may be visited by a fairy. Of course, you may never actually see a fair
