The Most Dangerous Woman in America

Catalog Number:

Book, Crampton, Norm

Date:

2011

Abstract:

"The most dangerous woman in America" is how FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover described humanitarian-social activist-children's champion-world peace advocate Jane Addams, a few years before Addams received the Nobel peace Prize in 1931. You can hardly blame J. Edgar Hoover for shooting from the hip--after all, Addams truly was the scourge of the Chicago Democratic Machine in the 1890's, and FBI files are forever. But this is not a biography. The Most Dangerous Woman in Americais the draft libretto of a prospective musical comedy. *

"I have a confession to make. The truth is that there are no swordfighting squirrels to be found here. I know, I know, I deliberately misinformed you, hoping to lure you into purchasing (or stealing) my magazine, What you will find is a collection of stories, illustrations and comics from local writers and artists. A lot of hard work went into this, but not as much as I'd like you to think. Enjoy!"
