Discover the remarkable life of Josephine Shaw Lowell, a true Unsensimental Reformer. In our book, you'll uncover the fascinating journey of a woman who revolutionized the way we approach poverty. As the nation grappled with industrialization post-Civil War, Lowell sought to rationalize charity and establish social responsibility for the welfare of the poor.
