In a series of biographical sketches, Stowe weaves a story of womanhood, describing Christianity’s influence on the female image. This religious portrayal begins with the Biblical story of Abraham’s wife Sarah, working its way up to the heroines of the New Testament, most notably King Herod’s Daughter, Mary Magdalene and Mary, mother of Jesus. The book portrays the relentless spirit of females in everything they have had to endure and conquer throughout history. While at the same time creating a connection between these historical figures and modern day women in the exploration of themes such as family and identity. Preceding any modern feminist revolutions, Stowe’s collection is a must read for anyone who wants to learn about the history and expectations of half the population: women. The daughter of a Calvinist preacher, Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American author and ardent abolitionist, whose most famous novel "Uncle Tom’s Cabin" became the fiercest attack on slavery at the time. Stowe’s influence reached much farther than literature, and marked politics and society, opening the world’s eyes to the horrors of slavery. Stowe also wrote travel memoirs, numerous articles, letters, and short stories.

Excerpt from Woman in Sacred History: A Series of Sketches Drawn From Scriptural, Historical, and Legendary Sources All the characters comprised in these sketches belong to one nationality. They are of that mysterious and ancient race whose records begin with the dawn of history; who, for centuries, have been sifted like seed through all the nations of the earth, with out losing either their national spirit or their wonderful physical and mental vigor. By this nation the Scriptures, which we reverence, were writ ten and preserved. From it came all the precepts and teachings by which our lives are guided in things highest and holiest from it came HE who is at once the highest Ideal of human perico tion and the clearest revelation of the Divine.' We are taught that the Creator revealed himself to man, not at Once, but by a system progressively developing from age to age. Selecting one man, he made of his posterity a sacerdotal nation, through which should gradually unfold a religious litera ture, and from which should come a succession of religious teach ers, and the final development, through Jesus, of a religion whose ultimate triumphs should bring complete blessedness to the race.

The object of the following pages will be to show, in a series of biographical sketches, a history of WOMANHOOD UNDER DIVINE CULTURE, tending toward the development of that high ideal of woman which we find in modern Christian countries. All the characters comprised in these sketches belong to one nationality. They are of that mysterious and ancient race whose records begin with the dawn of history; who, for centuries, have been sifted like seed through all the nations of the earth, without losing either their national spirit or their wonderful physical and mental vigor.
