商品簡介
In this book (a reprint from 1999), Goodwin, a retired pharmacist, studies the groups involved in the passage of the Pure Food and Drink Law of 1906, particularly why women became involved; their crusade for better food, drink, and drug quality that began in 1879; and the roles of the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the General Federation of Women's Clubs, and others. She uses records from these organizations and other primary sources and also recounts industrial and political opposition, how women moved regulation through Congress, and the continuation of their advocacy after the law was enacted.
