American Reformers
offers a wide-ranging collection of biographies of 550 men and women who were the principal architects of reform in America from the seventeenth century to modern times.
Designed for students and the general reader, coverage includes not only the chief facts of each subject's life, but also a thought-provoking assessment of the subject's significance to the general reform movement in this country.
Last published in 1985, this second edition offers more than 100 new entries to extend its coverage into the twenty-first century. You will find that it includes a remarkably broad range of reformers, from all political and ideological persuasions:
