From the Dust Jacket: "ALWAYS A SISTER traces the feminist roots of Wald's work from her nursing training...to her lifelong lobbying on behalf of better housing, health care, labor legislation and every other measure that sought to solve the twentieth-century problems caused by immigration, urbanization and industrialization in the United States...This book is not meant to be a traditional biography of Lillian Wald. While it deals with her life, it does so topically rather than chronologically, in order to show that her major work as a social reformer was rarely separated from her desire to improve the position of women....Wald's belief in the need for equal rights for women was a vital ingredient of her thinking and a part of her belief in social reforms. For nearly forty years, she participated in almost every aspect of the feminist movement. The Visiting Nurses Service and the Henry Street Settlement, which Wald founded in 1893, served as the sources of her power and prestige..."

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
