 Elizabeth Peabody's Views on Language and History
At that stage of language development, she thought there was a vital relationship between language and nature, a vigor that time has weakened but the power of which might to some degree be recaptured through a knowledge of language and a proper understanding of linguistic change.
All of her many endeavors were founded upon a few enduring convictions, chief among them the omnipresence of God in all human activity, the perfectibility of individuals and of mankind collectively, and the power of education to affect this process of elevation.
Profoundly spiritual and innately optimistic, she lived during a period--brief though it was--when her temperamental qualities were in harmony with a broader trust in the benevolence and accessibility of God and a broader faith in human nature and man's capabilities.

Whether the action is brought by the EEOC or by an employee, the relief available includes injunctive relief, as well as backpay, reinstatement, and other equitable relief.
