Description

Signed and generically inscribed by author upon half-title page. 287 pages. Footnotes. Bibliography. Many black and white reproductions of photos. "Throughout hr long life, Mildred walked 'the lonely path of peace' with the likes of J.S. Woodsworth, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King." She was a crusading socialist and an absolute pacifist who lived her beliefs in word and deed. But this story of her extraordinary life does not seek to sanctify her. Her foibles and frailties are as much a part of the tale as her deep spirituality and unquenchable dedication to social causes spanning six decades." - from back cover. Unmarked with light wear. A quality copy. Book
