Note

confused with "Women's Who’s Who of America," “Who's Who Among Women.” Who's

WHO’S WHO AMONG WOMEN IN AMERICA is an entirely independent
publication. having no connection with any other book.

It should not be

 

 Who’s Who
Among Women in America

\Vill be the most complete dictionary of WOMEN ever published in
any country. It is modeled on the plan of the well-known British “Who’s
Who,” and “Who’s Who in America,” but will be confined exclusively
to WOMEN.

The gathering of material for “Who’s Who Among Women in
America” has been going on for many months, and the editorial work
is in charge of a corps of the most experienced biographical writers in
the country. Hence, the highest degree of completeness and accuracy is
assured.

All the sketches for this work will be prepared from original data
procured especially for this purpose—and not a line of paid matter will
be permitted in the volume. The reliability of every item may therefore
be depended upon. Each sketch will be submitted to its subject for
revision and approval before it is printed, thereby insuring the exclusion
of any possible objectionable statement.

The book will contain, as nearly as possible, brief sketches of all the
leading women of the country—each state and each community being

adequately represented. The names will be selected with just and impar-
tial discrimination and only those entitled to recognition in a work of
this kind will be accepted. Every worthy line of “womanly” endeavor
will be taken into account and the names passed upon by competent judges.

Inclusion will not be limited to residents of the United States, but
worthy American women in all parts of the world—no matter where they
now live—Will be duly recognized. Here will be found thoroughly depend-
able data pertaining to the leaders in:

Education Politics Reform Patriotic Societies

Literature Temperance Social Betterment Household Economics

Authorship Philanthropy Medicine Journalism

Science Religion Law Lecturing

Art Club Work Music Society, etc., etc.

Suffrage Eugenics - The Stage

It should be borne in mind that there is no charge for the insertion

of sketches in

WHO’S WHO AMONG WOMEN IN AMERICA

and by furnishing the desired information no obligation to become a sub-
scriber is incurred.
