A Signal Success: The Work and Travels of Mrs. Martha J. Coston, an Autobiography (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from A Signal Success: The Work and Travels of Mrs. Martha J. Coston, an Autobiography IN this attempt to recount my life and some of the varied experiences attendant upon my efforts to per petuate the name of my beloved husband and to sup port my children and myself, I am actuated by no idle vanity, nor yet the wish to pose as a writer, but by the honest desire to encourage those of my own sex who, stranded upon the world with little ones looking to them for bread, may feel, not despair but courage rise in their hearts; confident that with integrity, energy, and perseverance they need no extraordinary talents to gain success and a place among the world's bread winners.
