See pieces like it you can buyA head-and-shoulders portrait of Frances Willard, longtime national president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union — the movement's organizing intelligence, next to Nation's public face. Willard built the institution; Nation supplied the theater. This house tells the counter-collection's story more honestly with both. The quiet formality — an organizer's portrait, not an activist's spectacle. The movement had two faces. This is the one that did the paperwork.
