Synopses & Reviews
Cultural Writing. Always outspoken, often outrageous, and fervent on behalf of their cause -- prison reform, women's rights, Spiritualism, phrenology, abolitionism, suffrage -- these admirable idealists, Eliza Farnham and Georgiana Bruce, believed not only in the perfectibility of humankind, but devoutly in their personal responsibility to point the way. Quoting extensively from their books and articles, author JoAnn Levy has assembled a biographic gem, an entertaining and groundbreaking work.
