Hamilton was the Erin Brockovich of the 1920s and the first female professor at Harvard. In his book American Poison, Stone paints a vivid portrait of Hamilton’s crusade. In his Vistas session, he will follow her from shop rooms to Capitol offices as she takes on the powerful auto industry at the height of America’s motor boom.
