The Mothers Of Great Men

By Sarah Stickney Ellis

Book Overview

The Mothers Of Great Men is a book written by Sarah Stickney Ellis that explores the power and influence of mothers on the lives of their sons. The book includes biographical sketches of the mothers of famous men, such as George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, and Napoleon Bonaparte, among others. Ellis argues that these women played a significant role in shaping the character and achievements of their sons, and that their influence extended beyond the home and into the public sphere. She also examines the qualities that made these women exceptional, including their intelligence, strength, and devotion to their families. The Mothers Of Great Men is a tribute to the often-overlooked contributions of mothers to the success of their children and a celebration of the power of maternal love.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
