Notes

Abstract: In 1907 Kate Barnard won election as the state's first commissioner of charities and corrections as a champion of working women, children, labor unions, prisoners, and the handicapped and mentally ill. Her downfall, however, came as a result of her investigation of Indian estate and guardianship fraud cases. Linda Edmonson and Margaret Larason provide a fascinating account of a skillful but little-known "woman politician" whose dedication to social causes has not been equaled.
