Born and raised in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Hamilton attended several medical schools contributing to her lifelong dedication to learning. Focusing on the investigation of the health and safety conditions -- or rather lack thereof -- in the nation's factories and mines during the second decade of the twentieth century, her discoveries led to factory and mine level-initiated reforms, and to city, state, and federal reform legislation. It also led to a greater recognition in the nation's universities for formal academic programs in industrial and public health. In 1919 the Harvard officials considered Hamilton the best qualified person in the country to lead their effort in this area. The Education of Alice Hamilton is an inspiring story of a woman dedicated to erudition and helping others"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.1 Hamilton Ri   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Biography B Hamilton Ri BIOGRAPHY Checked In Add Copy to MyList
