"A Group of Famous Women: Stories of Their Lives" by Edith Horton is a historical collection written in the early 20th century. The work presents brief biographies of notable women throughout history, showcasing their contributions and achievements. Through these stories, it aims to inspire readers, particularly young women, by highlighting the strength and determination of its subjects. At the start of the book, the author, through the Foreword and Introduction, establishes the importance of educating young girls about the influential women who have shaped history. The introduction identifies a gap in the educational curriculum regarding the lives of women compared to their male counterparts. It discusses how these biographies are meant to inspire pride among school girls in their womanhood and provide role models. The first detailed biography featured is that of Joan of Arc, detailing her early life, her divine visions, and her rise to lead the French army in several significant battles, underlining the themes of bravery and sacrifice that resonate through the book as a whole.
