Summary "Some Noble Sisters" by Edmund Lee is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work aims to explore the lives of various notable women throughout history, focusing on their contributions and influence, particularly in the context of sisterhood. The author emphasizes the moral and emotional strength that women can wield, citing the ties of affection between brothers and sisters as a significant source of this influence. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the tone by reflecting on the often-overlooked moral power women have in shaping character and their roles as sisters. Lee introduces the theme of sisterhood, referencing historical examples of devotion and sacrifice. Through character sketches, including figures like Mary Sidney and Wilhelmina, Margravine of Baireuth, he outlines how these women navigated their roles within families and the broader societal frameworks of their times. The initial pages provide insight into the various influences these noble sisters had on their loved ones and their unique contributions to literature, politics, and social reform, all while emphasizing the significant yet understated power of sisterly bonds.
