Summary
A ninety-year-old activist from New Hampshire chronicles her fourteen-month walk from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., to raise awareness of the issue of national campaign-finance reform as she describes her lifelong commitment to activism and adventure--from feminism in the 1930s to a 1960 effort to stop nuclear testing near an Eskimo fishing village. Reader's Guide included. Reprint. 25,000 first printing.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: In February 2000, ninety-year-old Doris âGranny Dâ Haddock became a national heroine when she completed her 3,200-mile, fourteen-month walk from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., to bring attention to the issue of campaign finance reform.
Granny D recalls and celebrates an exuberant life of love, ac-tivism, and adventureâfrom one-woman feminist plays in the thirties, to stopping nuclear testing near an Eskimo fishing village in 1963, to her current crusade. Threaded throughout is the spirit of her beloved hometown in New HampshireâThornton Wilderâs inspiration for Groverâs Corners in Our Townâa quintessentially American center of New England pluck, Yankee ingenuity, and can-do attitude.
Told in Dorisâs vivid and unforgettable voice, Granny D will move and delight readers with its clarion message that one person can indeed make a difference.
