À propos de l'auteur

Caroline Amelia Nation, known as Carrie Nation, Carry Nation, Carrie A. Nation, and Hatchet Granny, was born on 25 November 1846 in Garrard County, Kentucky, to George Moore and Mary Campbell Moore. Raised in a financially uncertain household that moved frequently, she developed a strong sense of responsibility and intense moral conviction. Her schooling across several communities led her to work for a time as a teacher. Her first marriage to Charles Gloyd exposed her to the destructive impact of alcoholism, as his dependence on alcohol created emotional distress and financial difficulty. After his death, she married David A. Nation, a lawyer and minister, though the relationship eventually became strained and ended in separation. Convinced that alcohol harmed families and weakened society, she committed herself to temperance activism. She gained national attention by storming saloons and smashing alcohol bottles with a hatchet, a dramatic method that symbolized her refusal to compromise. She traveled, lectured, and wrote in support of her cause, using every public platform to advocate reform. Caroline Amelia Nation remained outspoken until her death in 1911 in Kansas.
