Cairns, C. C. A Book of Noble Women. London and Edinburgh: Jack, [1911]; [1912]; 1913.

TOC: Saint Margaret, Queen of Scotland; Catherine of Siena; Vittoria Colonna; Jeanne d'Albret, Queen of Navarre; Lady Rachel Russell; Lady Grisell Baillie; Louisa, Queen of Prussia; Sarah Siddons; Jenny Lind; Louisa Alcott; Catherine Booth; Dorothea Beale.

British Library stamp 20 Oct 11. Acknowledges other sources in Preface (vii-viii). While some subjects are literally noble, Cairns uses “noble” in the sense that Chappell does in collections of "noble women", "noble work", or "noble workers", i.e. called to religious social service.

--Catherine of Siena, d. 1380, canonized 1461: “we cannot judge her by common standards, nor perhaps accept her example as a safe one to follow” (50); a beloved nurse of people during the black plague, a negotiator with Popes who sat “on a throne among princes” (51).

--Lady Russell at the trial: “the sternest hearts there softened for a moment” (125); “We wonder how this easy-humoured king could have resisted Lady Russell pleading on her knees for her husband's life. She left nothing untried” (126). “She gave [Lord Russell] no disturbance at their parting” (127).

--Compares Catherine Booth (of Salvation Army) and Dorothea Beale (pioneer educator): “both endowed with such great mental and spiritual force, looked at life from very different angles. Where the one held the lamp of Knowledge to trace the Presence of God in all he had made, the other saw a world lying in sin and wickedness.” Both sought “to make dead things live again. Their separate spheres met in their fellowship with Mrs. Josephine Butler. . . . What the womanhood of the future will owe to the powers, the devotion, the passion of these great women of the Victorian time can be measured in some degree by the awakening of women in our day.” Closing vision of procession of great women holding torches (367-68).

Cooper, William Ricketts [Secretary of the Society of Biblical Archaeology]. Heroines of the Past: A Lecture Delivered at the Working Men's Institute, Leighton Buzzard, 23 February, 1875. London: S. Bagster & Son, 1875.

British Library. NOT:=history lecture, typology. Unified narration of the lives of five Assyrian or Egyptian queens: Taia, Hat-a-Su, Sammuramat, Neit-Aker, and Amytas. Contrary to earlier views, “the records of ancient history not only afford us many examples of illustrious empresses, sole and regnant, but they also show that in certain flourishing states the royal succession ran in a female line . . . for many centuries” (9). “Think of woman as she is in our own happy, virtuous, and queen-governed England, and not as she now exists as a mere instrument of sensation, a living article of furniture” in India, Egypt, or Turkey (10). “By the degree of her influence and measured by her position, the comparative civilization of the greatest empires has been rightly guaged” (5).

Chapter titles: Vol. 1: Elizabeth, Countess of Shrewsbury; Arabella Stuart; Catherine Grey; Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke; Penelope, Lady Rich; Magdalen Herbert; Frances Howard, Duchess of Richmond; Vol. 2: Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia; Lucy Harrington, Countess of Bedford; Frances Howard, Countess of Somerset; Margaret Elizabeth, Countess of Essex; Christian, Countess of Devonshire; Anne Clifford, Countess of Dorset; Mary Evelyn; Lady Fanshawe; Vo. 3: Anastasia Venetia Stanley, Lady Digby; The Countess of Desmond; Elizabeth Cromwell and Her Daughters; Mrs. Lucy Hutchinson; Frances Stuart, Duchess of Richmond; Dorothy Sidney, Countess of Sunderland; Elizabeth Percy, Duchess of Somerset; Lady Rachel Russell; Margaret, Duchess of Newcastle; Anne, Countess of Winchelsea; Mrs. Katherine Philips; Jane Lane; Anne Killigrew; Frances Jennings, Duchess of Tyrconnel; Mary Beale; Anne Clarges, Duchess of Albemarle; Lady Mary Tudor; Anne Hyde, Duchess of York; Anne Scott, Duchess of Monmouth; Stella and Vanessa; Susannah Centlivre; Vol. 4: Lengthy biographies of Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu.

First two volumes appeared “in two volumes,” but in 1844, vols. 3 and 4 also appeared, their title pages omitting the phrase, “in two volumes.” A thorough biographical history, copying correspondence, court documents, and portraiture; almost all subjects of high rank. Costello claims that before the sixteenth century, “imagination must supply much of the void left by historians” concerning women, and that Queen Elizabeth, as “avatar,” gave some “dignity and importance” to women, ironically through her “manly qualities” (i-iii).
