Excerpt from The British Essayists, Vol. 43: With Prefaces, Historical and Biographical
It was last night considered as an especial favour, that I was permitted to have a seat at the female board where my mother sits as presidentess. It had been determined on this evening to take into consideration the state of the female nation - a discussion to which they dedicate one sitting in every six months. Miranda, who is my mothers principal secretary, had the chief direction and management in the business of the day; and almost all the motions, petitions, remonstrances, advices, c.either originated with her, or passed through her hands. I think I never saw her appear with such advantage as upon this occasion.
