Review Quotes:
"In this brief introduction to a short interlude in Dix's long career--her reform work in Illinois--David L. Lightner successfully acquaints his readers with Dix the polemicist, reformer and philanthropist. He has edited three of Dix's most impassioned pleas for change and has written an incisive assessment of her mixed legacy."--Times Literary
