Women of Courage.

     The Webster’s Dictionary defines courage as: "The quality of mind or spirit that enables one to face difficulty, danger or pain."  We believe that the women discussed in the following pages can be described by this definition.  Their courage was largely ignored by society until a number of women learned to read and write and demanded independence.  These women learned you fight fear with knowledge and that courage is the better emotion.

God spoke the following words to Joshua, He said, "Have I not commanded You? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)

Later when Joshua amassed his troops to go to war against Israel’s enemies, this is what he told his troops, "Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be strong and courageous. This is what the LORD will do to all the enemies you are going to fight." (Joshua 10:25) Joshua translated the courage God gave to him to his men. Joshua knew he could rely upon God. Joshua knew he could rely upon God because whenever he needed God, God was there.

Joshua took what he learned for his experiences with God and offered what he learned to his men so they too could grow. This is what the author of Women of Courage has tried to do. She has amassed the experiences of hundred of women and she is offering these experiences for you to draw from. She believes that if you read how other women have lived the spark of courage will be ignited in you and you will live a more fulfilling life.

          Every day, the television and radio tell stories of male courage as if the characteristic of courage is gender specific.  We thought it only fitting here to tell the story of female courage. Courage is a characteristic that is normally assigned to the male member of a species.  Very little if any notice is given to the female probably because courage and heroics are associated with physical combat and women have been considered incapable of physical combat.    In this book we attempted to correct this perception and expand the definition of courage to include the woman.
