History From a Child’s Perspective

Oct 23rd, 2008 | By Gidget | Category: Associated Industry Pros

I was just perusing the Digital History archive in search of primary source documents written by children, when I ran into this quote:

ANNA GREEN WINSLOW

Heroines may not distinguish themselves at the head of an Army, but freedom [will] be won by a fighting army of amazons…armed with spinning wheels.

I read this right after reading Benjamin Franklin talking about a conversation with a male friend on whether or not women should be educated. Not much has changed in the world, excepting many an amazon’s choice of weapon!
