Excerpt from Mrs. Elliott's Housewife: Containing Practical Receipts in Cookery Although one may not aspire to exert a wide influence like such women as Hannah More, Harriet Newell, or Isabella Graham, it is still true that there is an influence in woman, always pervading and powerful, and the importance of exerting it in every sphere of life should be deeply impressed upon her mind. The change of times in the South indicates to woman there a solemn duty. In the discharge of it she must look to God to sustain her. Her influence at home and abroad over her own sex, and through the various circles of human life, makes it a duty to call into action the power of the mind, and lay every resource under contribution. Woman exerts a vast influence upon society as well as in the ordinary scenes of life, and to her is intrusted a moral power that hardly knows a limit.
