Excerpt from Madeline McDowell Breckinridge: A Leader in the New South
Her organized activities followed on the whole four main lines of effort: (1) developing the educational and recreational opportunities for the poorer children both in Lexington and in the state at large; (2) providing resources for the treatment and cure of the victims of tuberculosis; (3) organizing sound case work in the field of charitable effort; (4) securing votes for women.
In attempting to record those activities, I have as far as possible used her own words and to the extent to which I have been skilful in using them her personality may emerge.
