| Summary: | "Mary Elizabeth Garrett was one of the most influential philanthropists and activists of the Gilded Age. With Mary's legacy all but forgotten, Kathleen Waters Sander recounts in impressive detail the life and times of this remarkable woman, whose adult life spanned the turbulent years of the Civil War and the Progressive Era of the early twentieth century. At once a captivating biography of Garrett and an epic account of the rise of commerce, railroading, and women's rights, Sander's work re-examines the great social and political movements of the age."--Jacket |
