- Alice Hamilton was first considered "subversive" during World War I, yet she lived to protest our involvement in Vietnam.

She was Edith Hamilton's sister, and the first woman on the faculty of Harvard, though she retired--an assistant professor in the school of public health--ten years before women medical students were admitted. This legendary figure now comes to life in an integrated work of biography and letters
