She was the forgotten greatest social reformer of her time.
In this immensely significant biography, Paul Kaplan follows powerful
activist Lillian Wald, a social and education reformer dedicated to
helping less fortunate citizens in New York. While living there, Wald
began campaigning for healthcare, which lead her to inserting herself
into the social climate of her patients. Groundbreaking for her time,
Lillian Wald was not only a revolutionary reformer but also an advocate
for women's suffrage, racial integration, and worker's rights. She acted
as a leader in a world that has now forgotten her countless
contributions. This biography is brilliant for children looking for a
strong female role model from the past, for today.
