註釋"Alice Hamilton (1869-1970), a pioneer in the study of diseases of the workplace, a founder of industrial toxicology in the United States, and Harvard's first woman professor, led a long and fascinating life. Always a consummate professional, she was also a prominent social reformer whose interest in the environmental causes of disease and in bettering workers' living conditions developed during her years as a resident at Jane Addam's Hull House." "This legendary figure now comes to life in an integrated work of biography and letters that reveals the private as well as the professional woman. In documenting Hamilton's evolution from a childhood of privilege to a life of social advocacy, the volume opens a window on women reformers and their role in Progressive era politics and reform."--BOOK JACKET.
