Summary

Woman of the Century — Elizabeth Porter Gould (1893)

Besides having inspired clubs in the city of her long residence, Chelsea, Mass., she has been, and still is, an intellectual power among the society women of Boston, Brookline, Newton and other places, by her "Talks on Current Events." Besides her unique work in private circles, Miss Gould, as an officer in philanthropic organizations in Boston and Chelsea, has struck important chords for more efficient work, especially in the line of reform. Her brochure, " How I became a Woman Suffragist," is a book of personal experience.

Those on "Robert College" and "Bulgaria under Alexander," the former the only full account of that American institution on the Bosphorus ever written, brought her most complimentary words from the ex-Prince himself. Others, such as, "Friedrich Froebel." "School Life in China," "The Steele Orphanage in Chattanooga" and "The Woman Problem," have become authority on those subjects.
