It's a fun one this week!  Lauren regails us with the determination of one woman to "save America" from the drink.  That's right! This week, we are covering Carrie A. Nation, a woman known for her dedication to Prohibition and her unusually violent methods in doing so.  

While today we may not agree with her methods or with Prohibition at all, we can understand her reasoning behind it.  Alcohol can effect more than just the person drinking and many women at this time had suffered the consequences of their husband's drinking.  To many, Prohibition was the answer.  I guess we'll see how it all shakes out!
