In a long and eventful life she campaigned for birth control, women's rights, nuclear disarmament, social justice and the environment before such causes were popular. She wrote almost 40 books, numerous articles and School Journal stories, and was a published poet."--Jacket UR - http://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy1004/2009512248-b.html ER -
