Excerpt from Carla Wenckebach: Pioneer Wise hunts congenial activity in preference to man or motherhood. To this interesting and happy enough variation of womankind, gallant Uncle Sam has long granted an important share in public activities, while Brother Michel still holds aloof. Among the hundreds, or shall I say thousands, of brave, restless German women who during the latter half of the last century left the Fatherland in order to seek larger, freer fields of activity in foreign coun tries, none perhaps has done more for her own peo ple or won more distinction in her new home than Carla Wenckebach. Yet none could have been less conscious of her own achievement, - and this fact has given added zest to my work as biographer. In regard to material I have been unusually fortunate in being able to gather largely from Fraulein Wenckebach's nearest friends and rela tives, including her mother, who died only recently; and there were many other people available from whom I have extorted their last bit of information. Through frequent and prolonged visits in East Frisia, her home in Northern Germany, I have be come familiar with the customs and traditions of the country and with the personnel of its sturdy in habitants, whose national motto is, Ealafi'???a Fr??? Jena! Hail to thee, free Frisian! Myself a native. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
