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.

The Use And Need Of The Life Of Carry A. Nation (Paperback)
impression à la demandeVendeur : Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, IL, Etats-Unis
Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The use and need of the life of Carry A. Nation presents an intense personal reflection shaped by conviction and a sense of responsibility toward society. From the earliest memories of home and upbringing, the narrative shows how inherited values influence a growing awareness of injustice. The author observes the impact of destructive habits on families and communities, noting how environments marked by struggle can either weaken or strengthen a person's resolve. Through recalling moments of personal hardship, the writer emphasizes the emotional labor required to challenge accepted norms. Instead of focusing on confrontation alone, the narrative highlights an inner transformation, portraying how reflection can lead to action when ideals become inseparable from purpose. Encounters with suffering encourage a deeper understanding of vulnerability, particularly regarding those who lack support or protection. The opening of the book establishes a foundation of memory, self-examination, and moral clarity, showing how conviction is formed not through sudden revelation but through accumulated experience. These reflections set the direction for a life devoted to public reform, revealing how personal resilience can evolve into unwavering advocacy. This item is printed on demand.
