Martyrs of the Needle by Rev Talmage on woman toil
Rev T De Witt Talmage appeals during his world circuit to redefine women's work as honorable and essential. He condemns idleness, denounces wealth-based parental negligence, and urges self reliance, equal pay, and skilled labor for women, framing the needle as a modern martyr and calling for justice and opportunity.
