A Military Genius - Life of Anna Ella Carroll, of Maryland #254909

Our great generals have left us one by one without ever antagonizing the claim, and General Grant advised Miss Carroll to continue to push her claim for recognition. But this work is to be considered rather in the light of an historical research bearing on questions of the day. Are our present laws and customs just toward women? Are women ever preeminently fitted for high offices in the State? Is it for our honor and advantage when so fitted to avail ourselves of the whole united intellect and moral power of men and women side by side in peril and in duty?
