| Summary |
With reference to Quinton's voluminous writings--including her letters, speeches, and newspapers articles--as well as WNIA literature, Mathes draws a complex picture of an organization that at times ignored traditional Indian practices and denied individual agency, even as it provided dispossessed and impoverished people with healthcare and adequate housing. And at the center of this picture we find Quinton, a woman and reformer of her time. </bo |
