Women, however, built and maintained the Republic but were not granted access to the Academy (Nash, 2005, Kerber, 1997). At the threshold of the Revolutionary War, women served not only their home, family, and husbands, they began to serve the broader country.

All of us have aspirations. We build air-castles, and are probably the happier for the building. However, the sooner we learn that life is not a play-day, but a thing of earnest activity, the better for us and for those associated with us. "Energy," says Goethe, "will do anything that can be done in this world"; and Jean Ingelow truly says, that "Work is heaven's hest." If we cannot, like George Eliot, write _Adam Bede_, we can, like Elizabeth Fry, visit the poor and the prisoner.

  • Women on Stamps
    jÉÅxÇ fàtÅÑáÉÇ jÉÅxÇ fàtÅÑáÉÇ Publication 512 April 2003 ©2003 United States Postal Service All rights reserved Produced by Diversity Development For more information, please visit www.usps.com WOMEN ON STAMPS Sending a powerful message requires a powerful tool. And the mail is one of the most powerful — and easily accessible — communication tools available today. A single postage stamp is the only investment you need. Since the first postage stamps were issued more than 150 years ago, just about every one of them has also carried a message about our shared heritage, our diverse culture and the people and events that have helped build a great nation. Women have had a strong and lasting impact on American history. The Postal Service is proud to honor their influence and achievements through our stamp program. They are artists, abolitionists, national leaders and physicians. They are war heroes, pioneers, authors and performers. They are American painter and printmaker Mary Cassatt, a home-grown and world-renowned Impressionist; Harriet Tubman, who personally led over 300 individuals from slavery to freedom; Patsy Cline, whose plaintive voice personifies the sound of country music; and Eleanor Roosevelt, the vocal and progressive First Lady, who became a champion for social reform and human rights. For more than a century, since 1893, when a woman first appeared on a United States postage stamp, the Postal Service has proudly honored women and their achievements. We will continue to tell their story, and jthe story of America, through our stamp program. The United States Postal Service has bound the nation together through its personal and business communications for more than two centuries.
