From the Dust Jacket: "ALWAYS A SISTER traces the feminist roots of Wald's work from her nursing training...to her lifelong lobbying on behalf of better housing, health care, labor legislation and every other measure that sought to solve the twentieth-century problems caused by immigration, urbanization and industrialization in the United States...This book is not meant to be a traditional biography of Lillian Wald. While it deals with her life, it does so topically rather than chronologically, in order to show that her major work as a social reformer was rarely separated from her desire to improve the position of women....Wald's belief in the need for equal rights for women was a vital ingredient of her thinking and a part of her belief in social reforms. For nearly forty years, she participated in almost every aspect of the feminist movement. The Visiting Nurses Service and the Henry Street Settlement, which Wald founded in 1893, served as the sources of her power and prestige..."
