<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>During the depression of the 1890s, a young Iowa newspaperman, indignant over the excesses of the Gilded Age, led a group of midwesterners to the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, where they established a model community based on the utopian ideals of Henry George. In <em>Women of Fair Hope</em>, Paul M. Gaston follows the dreams and achievements of three extraordinary women--an early feminist reformer, an educator, and a freed slave--whose individual desires to create a fairer, more equitable society led them to play important roles in the life of that community.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Gaston is a magnificent storyteller. -- <b><em>Atlanta Constitution</em></b><br><br>The charm of <em>Women of Fair Hope</em> resembles that of treasured stories ... If, in writing of the lives of Nancy Lewis, Marie Howland, and Marietta Johnson, Gaston is recreating three lives and telling three touching stories, he is also very gently--almost too gently--saying something about the nature, limits, and interweaving of different women's experiences in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Each of these women was extraordinary and significant, each a woman of courage, determination, imagination ... Gaston has offered his readers a small jewel. -- <b>Elizabeth Fox Genovese</b>, <em>Georgia Historical Review</em><br>
