Carry A. Nation - Retelling the Life (Paperback)

"A needed and welcome account of Carry Nation s story... deserves the highest praise." Journal of American History

"Admirably interweaves early 20th-century religious culture, regional politics, the suffrage and temperance movements, and the woman who worked zealously to unite them all." Library Journal (starred review)

In her well-received biography of Carry A. Nation, Fran Grace unfolds a story that often contrasts with the common public image of Nation as "Crazy Carry," a bellicose, blue-nosed, man-hating killjoy. Using newly available archival materials and placing Nation in her various historical and cultural contexts, Grace "retells" the crusader s tumultuous life. This complexly woven and delightfully written biography begins the work of recovering Nation s often fascinating, often disturbing life.
