Who Said That?

"My advice to the women of America is to raise more hell and fewer dahlias."

 

William Allen White

 

Whenever I link a quotation to one of my images, I am compelled to learn about the author of said quote. If you are interested in such things, you might want to know this about the author...

 

"William Allen White (February 10, 1868 – January 29, 1944) was an American newspaper editor, politician, author, and leader of the Progressive movement. Between 1896 and his death, White became a spokesman for middle America.

 

At a 1937 banquet held in his honor by the Kansas Editorial Association, he was called "the most loved and most distinguished member" of the Kansas press."
