Risk\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElizabeth Upham Yates (1857-1942) was a nationally known reformer in the United States in the fields of temperance, women's suffrage, simple living, and missionary work. The Life and Times of Elizabeth Upham Yates: A Crusader for Women's Suffrage, Temperance, and Missionary Work documents Yates's life from her coastal Maine origins through her missionary activities in China in the 1880s to her political career in the 1920s. Upon her return from China to the United States, Yates's reputation grew as a master orator who stirred the suffrage spirit on campaign trails across the country. In 1920, the first year that women could campaign for office in Rhode Island, she ran for the Democratic ticket for lieutenant governor, earning 50,000 votes. She railed against jingoists like Theodore Roosevelt in the New York Times and chastised male political leadership for ignoring the lynching crisis. During her long career, her suffrage sisters memorialized her as a \"prophet and a dreamer.\" Shannon M. Risk draws on sources ranging from regional histories and shipping passenger manifests to archival papers at the Library of Congress and Yates's own writing to shed new light on this suffragist's life and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShannon M.
