A notable new life of the great temperance advocate written by an
English woman from an entirely new standpoint. Mrs. Strachey, the
granddaughter of the author of “A Christian’s Secret of a Happy Life,”
had immediate access to Miss Willard’s letters, journals and papers,
and the benefit of her grandmother’s advice and knowledge.
Israel Zangwill says of the book, “A masterpiece of condensation, an
adequate biography of perhaps the greatest woman America has produced.
Nobody can read this book without becoming braver, better, wiser.”

This is one of the notable books of the year. China looms large in
current political and religious interest, so that this life story of
one who for nearly half a century has been closely identified with
social and religious reform in that country must have a large place in
current literature.
