| Variant title | Life of Nancy Evans Roles, artist and advocate |
| Abstract | "Born in the rural South in 1908, in her twenties Nancy [Evans Roles] was introduced to the work of John Dewey, a champion of the progressive education movement. The philosophohy that education must prepare students for active participation in their world would be an enduring touchstone for her. Indefatigable as a community leader, Nancy was a formidable advocate for social justice and an important voice in civic debate. She also found later success as a prolific plein air artist, all while forging a fulfilling personal life. In She found her voice, Barbara Roles McKinnon chronicles her mother's life through exploration of her papers and artifacts, and interviews with her and her contemporaries."--Jacket. |
