Excerpt from Prominent Women of Texas
Margeritte Clothilde de Surville eclipsed all other lights in the field of poetry and belles-lettres; while Elizabeth, Lady Jane Grey, and Signora Joan of Arragon, made themselves famous as scholars and linguists. In theology and eloquence Isabella de Kesara dis played powers that electrified her cotemporaries; and Elena Lucre zia Piscopia, as linguist and mathematician, rose above all' the men of her time. Even as rulers of great nations, women have held with firm and skillful hand the reins of government, and the throne has been exalted by their wisdom. From Artemesia and Semiramis and Zenobia to Elizabeth and Victoria, the crown lost none of its Splendor while adorning the brow of a woman. In art, as in science, she has excelled. When Rosa Bonheur with her brush made the canvas to glow with the consciousness of its charm; when Prosper sia Rossi with her chisel startled the formless rock into life when the female Herschel with her lens brought down to our sphere the secrets of the stellar hosts, the world applauded and confessed that painting and sculpture and astronomy found expression in woman's genius equal to that displayed by her gifted brother. As his help meet she has also given signal proof of collaborative effort. Grote, the historian, Carlyle, the essayist, John Stuart Mill, the political economist, and Agassiz, the scientist, only wrote in part the works that made them famous; their wives were the partners of their toil.
