89. You're thinking of two different women--both of whom had axes.

Carrie Nation was an Original Freeper--took her axe to saloons and other establishments that served alcohol. Trivia: I had her (liberal) great-nephew as a history prof in college (Jack Nation).

Lizzie Borden wasn't an activist--she just hacked her family to death.

Couple of other points--one, I wouldn't EVEN put Bev Harris on the level of any of our feminist heroes, and two, I wouldn't consider Carrie Nation a feminist hero; if you want a good radical to use for an example, look to someone like Alice Paul.
