REBEL IN THOUGHT

by Sarah Tarleton Colvin ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 15, 1944

Autobiography of a Southerner who, in unassuming manner, tells of the changes the years have brought in her attitude toward people and ideas, who at 80, and half blind, records her responses to the influences of her life. Retrospective and introspective, this is a self-revelatory account of a childhood in postbellum South. She was born in 19, she knew the results of defeat in her own family in Alabama. Submissive to family edie, she did not break outwardly with convention, until she was 25; then went to Baltimore to study nursing at Johns Hopkins, and from there to Canada to work and marry a doctor. They went to St. Paul, and there she became interested in forwarding nursing reforms, health measures, woman's suffrage and educational activities... A book of somewhat limited appeal, outside the district where she is known (Minnesota).
