But the story behind the song begins with Katharine herself, who pushed beyond conventional expectations of women to become an acclaimed writer, scholar, suffragist, and reformer. Katharine believed in the power of words to make a difference, and in America the Beautiful, her vision of the nation as a great family, united from sea to shining sea, continues to uplift and inspire us all.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Nowadays, most people singing 'America the Beautiful' have no idea of the political and social context behind the poem Bates wrote.
