Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Corner Stones: That Our Daughters May Be As Corner Stones, Polished After The Similitude Of A Palace is a book written by Katharine Burrill and originally published in 1907. The book is a collection of essays and speeches that Burrill delivered to various women's groups and organizations throughout her career as a writer and lecturer. The title of the book is taken from a passage in the Bible (Psalm 144:12) that compares daughters to corner stones, which were the most important and valuable stones used in the construction of buildings in ancient times. Burrill uses this metaphor to argue that women should be valued and respected for their contributions to society, just as corner stones are essential to the stability and strength of a building. Throughout the book, Burrill discusses a wide range of topics related to women's rights and empowerment, including education, suffrage, and the importance of women's role in the home and family. She also addresses the challenges and obstacles that women face in a male-dominated society, and offers advice and encouragement to women who are striving to achieve their goals and make a difference in the world. Overall, Corner Stones is a powerful and inspiring book that celebrates the strength and resilience of women, and encourages readers to recognize and appreciate the important role that women play in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
