Gebraucht, guter Zustand, [PU: Harvard University Press, Cambridge], WOMENS COLLECTION, MEDICINE, Jacket, Octavo. cloth. Illustrated. During the decades from 1890 to 1920 a remarkable generation of women opened new roads for sister trailblazers in the professions and social reform. Alice Hamilton's path led her from an affluent childhood in Fort Wayne, Indiana to becoming a physician and eventually America's foremost industrial toxicologist. As a reformer she sounded the alert to the dangers of industrial diseases, much akin to the latter day Rachel Carson. During her 101 year life, Hamilton was also a pacificst, a libertarian, and a longtime resident of Hull House. The author is a college professor and co-editor of the authoritative Notable American Women The Modern Period. With appendices and an index. [DAB. NAW.
