"Ten Girls from History" by Kate Dickinson Sweetser is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book is a collection of biographical sketches that highlight the lives of notable girls throughout history who displayed exceptional courage and strength. Each segment is dedicated to different historical figures, such as Joan of Arc and Queen Victoria, aiming to inspire young readers with their achievements and contributions. The opening portion introduces the life of Jeanne d'Arc, a peasant girl from Domrémy, discussing her humble beginnings and early signs of her extraordinary mission to save France during a time of national crisis. As the narrative unfolds, we learn of Jeanne's divine visions, including the voices of saints guiding her to lead the French army and restore the rightful king, Charles. Her journey from a simple life to becoming a pivotal figure in French history showcases her bravery, commitment, and the challenges she faced in a male-dominated society, thus setting the stage for her remarkable adventures and ultimate sacrifice for her country.
