Summary "Heroines That Every Child Should Know" by Mabie, Stephens, and Ostertag is a collection of tales for young people focusing on inspiring female figures throughout history, written in the early 20th century. This anthology highlights the noble deeds and bravery of various heroines from different cultures and eras, aiming to provide young readers with role models who exemplify courage, self-sacrifice, and moral integrity. The opening of the book features an introduction by Hamilton W. Mabie, which sets the stage for understanding heroism in both historical and contemporary contexts. Mabie emphasizes the often-overlooked contributions of women in heroic narratives, arguing that women deserve equal recognition for their courage and sacrifice.
