Summary: "The Use and Need of the Life of Carry A. Nation" by Carry Amelia Nation is a memoir written in the early 20th century, reflecting on the author’s life experiences and advocacy work. The book focuses on Carry Nation's fervent activism against alcohol and the societal issues surrounding it, using her personal narrative as a lens to highlight the struggles and triumphs she faced, particularly as a woman in a predominantly male-dominated society.

She shares fond memories of her family's plantation, particularly her interactions with the enslaved people on the estate, and discusses the values instilled in her by her father.
