2: Carry A. Nation wasn’t *that* tall

Good history hoes probably think they know about Carry Nation. She was the woman who busted into saloons with a hatchet and smashed everything to booze-soaked bits! In fact, she liked smashing up bars so much that she did it again. And again! And again!!

People called her crazy! And ugly! And tall! …which we all can agree is equally bad!(?)

In this episode, Kristin posits that Carry A. Nation deserves more respect than she has been given. Then again, in this episode, Kristin also tries to sell you a bubble mailer full of pig butter. So… should you really listen to anything she says?

Remember, kids, history hos always cite their sources! For this episode, Kristin pulled from:
“Carry A. Nation: Retelling the Life,” by Fran Grace
“Smashing the Liquor Machine: A Global History of Prohibition,” by Mark Lawrence Schrad
“The Use and Need of the life of Carry A. Nation,” written by Carry A. Nation in 1905.
“Carry A. Nation,” Kansas Historical Society website
“Carry A. Nation,” Historic Missourians
“Activist Carry Nation used a hatchet to smash booze bottles before prohibition,” by Erin Blakemore for History.com
“Hatchet Nation,” by Mark Lawrence Schrad for Slate
“Carry Nation,” clip from the documentary Prohibition
