The work aims to highlight the contributions of notable women who have significantly impacted society in various fields, particularly literature and philanthropy. Fawcett's intent is to provide encouragement to women and to showcase how greater freedom and better education enhance women's roles both in literature and in traditionally feminine areas of work. The opening of the collection sets the tone by discussing the evolution of women's contributions to society from the past to the present, emphasizing their increasing involvement in public life and moral improvements. Fawcett specifically references Elizabeth Fry, a pioneer in prison reform, whose work not only uplifted the conditions of female prisoners but also inspired others. The preface outlines the ambitions of the author to present a diverse range of women’s achievements, providing motivation, particularly to working women and young individuals, by reminding them of past accomplishments and ongoing struggles for equality and recognition in various domains.
