Synopsis

This is Mrs. Wilmans autobiography. As she introduces it herself:“In the papers I am writing, I shall give the best I have without apology. It will be the best I have, because it will be the "I" that I am giving. In giving my "I" I shall disclose the "I" in you who read, for we are all off one piece. And oh! a wonderful thing is the “I," whether it is my "I" or your "I"; such a beautiful thing; such a majestic thing; and so varied in its phases; and for all the variations of it I am so thankful and so glad. No two pages in any life history alike, and yet each one so vital, so alive! This aliveness! It is this which gives an autobiography its charm. The individual is all there; present in his own words. He brings himself with him in every page. And this is saying wonders; for if a person brings himself into your presence, he has brought a condensed world there for your inspection; and if you are anything of a naturalist you cannot help but be interested. “Her life story therefore is a significant lesson to all who are struggling with unfavorable conditions, even were it told alone and with no attempt to disclose the laws which governed her success.
