The Measure of a Man by Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr

the family table and the family hearth.

Yet there certainly is a restless feminine minority, who declare, both
by precept and example, Family Life to be a servitude. Alas! They have
not given themselves opportunity to discover that self-sacrifice is the
meat and drink of all true affection.

But women have learned within the last two decades to listen to every
side of an argument. Their Club life, with its variety of "views," has
led them to decide that every phase of a question ought to be
attentively considered. So I do not doubt that my story will receive
justice, and I hope approval, from all the women--and men--that read it.

Affectionately to all,
AMELIA E. BARR.
