This piece gave young girls role models by raising the general consciousness of remarkable women, as well as distinguishing them from their family names which historically would be associated with the actions of the male members. The passage of this piece from aunt to niece shows an abiding interest in women's history at the time. The women profiled include Margaret Roper, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Queen Victoria.
