Probably mainly because I'm not USAmerican. But hanging around the Guns forum, I just got sick and tired of the dissing of the temperance women, for example -- the talk of "moral panic" and the total distortions of their work -- because I did know more generally what their efforts were really about, and how intertwined with feminist and humanist and progressive concerns they were, and googled up Frances Willard eventually.

Yes, an amazingly active, prolific, she-got-it woman for sure.
