Table of ContentsReviews“In this gripping account and analysis, historian Amy Absher skillfully exposes the perilous path of a woman who ventured to claim public space and take control of her destiny in an ostensibly new era. Instead, she faced a tsunami of male domination, and even after her murder, misogyny and journalistic sensationalism enveloped her body, her death, and her public memory. A woeful parable set in 1922, its lessons continue to ripple outward a century later.”—Peter Boag, author of Pioneering Death: The Violence of Boyhood in Turn-of-the-Century Oregon """In this gripping account and analysis, historian Amy Absher skillfully exposes the perilous path of a woman who ventured to claim public space and take control of her destiny in an ostensibly new era.
