Frances Willard (1839-1898) was one of the most famous American women of the late nineteenth century. As president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), Willard built the largest women's rights organization in the world, campaigning for prohibition, women's suffrage, economic justice, and for women's broader political participation. As the first new biography of Willard published in over thirty-five years, this book provides readers a fascinating lookinto one of the most important women's rights leaders of her era. The book also closely examines Willard's religious faith-which galvanized her activism-and assesses her importance for our time.
