A Woman’s Influence

April 21, 2012 by Christina

“Every woman, whether rich or poor, married or single, has a circle of influence, within which, according to her character, she is exerting a certain amount of power for good or harm. Every woman, by her virtue or vice; by her folly or her wisdom; by her levity or her dignity, is adding something to our national elevation or degradation.”1

1 John Angell James quoted in Susan Hunt’s, “The True Woman: The Beauty and Strength of a Godly Woman” page, 24
