Reviews

[Homerun2 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Clearly written and interesting biography of a mostly forgotten American reformer and activist who served 14 months in prison for speaking out against World War I. Popular during her lifetime, as a woman she tended to be overlooked for her contributions.

I liked it. It was pretty simple reading, but for those who like biography it would be enjoyable.
