New York: Putnam’s, (1951). First edition. cloth. Fine/pictorial dust jacket (crease along top front panel, a couple minor tears near spine, slightly rubbed at spine ends). Octavo. Illustrated with photographs The curious life story of Anna Elizabeth Dickinson (1842-1932). At twenty-one the Philadelphia Quaker, hailed as the “Union Joan of Arc” for her fiery oratory, addressed the House of Representatives with President Lincoln and his cabinet in attendance. After the war she basked in the lecture circuit, her scathing speeches championing negro rights and the social, economic and political emancipation of women (although she would not join the organized suffrage movement). Later she turned to acting, but in middle age Dickinson would fall on hard times and the last forty years of her life were spent in modest circumstances, far from the madding crowd of her youth. With a note on sources and an index[DAB. NAW].

The first full-length biography of Anna Elizabeth Dickinson, a Philadelphia Quaker, who, at just twenty-one addressed the House of Representatives with President Lincoln and his cabinet in attendance, and was hailed as the Union Joan of Arc for her fiery oratory. After the war she took to the lecture circuit, arguing for rights for the Negroes and emancipation of women, and then to acting, and in the 1890's she was involved in a long legal battle to prove that she was not insane. Although she 'won' that fight, her last 40 years were spent in poverty and obscurity .Illustrated with photographs. Note on sources, index. 319 pp
