This episode digs into the life of Carry A. Nation, the iconic temperance crusader known for her audacious "hatchetations" against saloons. Born in 1846, her personal battles with her husband's alcoholism fueled her radical activism. She became infamous for her saloon-smashing campaigns, wielding her trademark hatchet to destroy alcohol-serving establishments across the U.S. Despite being labeled a "lunatic" by some, her fierce dedication to social reform also saw her advocating for women's suffrage and founding "Hatchet Hall," a refuge for women affected by alcohol, in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. Her legacy lives on through various memorials, reflecting her complex role in American history as both a polarizing figure and a pioneer for change.
