Her insightful and fluently-written synthesis will enlighten the general reader and compel the attention of specialists in a variety of disciplines."--Jack Blocker, author of 'American Temperance Movements: Cycles of Reform' and '"Give to the Winds Thy Fears": The Women's Temperance Crusade, 1873-1874'.
