It is not the aim of this book to try and cover the whole field of British woman's achievement, nor to name all those who have taken part in it. Its object is to show the wonderful change in the position of women that has been brought about by the individual efforts of a few determined pioneers. For centuries women remained passively in the background, watching the antics of men on the stage of the world, ready to comfort, flatter and sustain, but not allowed out in the limelight. This work puts those pioneers in the limelight so that others may follow.
