Description

Why did "Life Magazine" dub her "the most hated woman in America"? Did she unravel the moral fibre of America or defend the Constitution? This is the story of "the most hated woman in America," by the only author to interview the killer and those close to him and to witness the family's secret burial in Austin, Texas.

"'Seaman convincingly portrays the late O'Hair as part celebrity-craving nutcase and part tireless crusader for separation of church and state.' Texas Monthly 'It seems fitting that Seaman, an Austin native and part-time resident, would deliver the most complete biographical rendering of America's Most Hated Woman- a moniker coined by life magazine that O'Hair, true to her irascible nature, embraced....Seaman plumbs O'Hair's psyche with insights that avoid pop psychology.' Austin American Statesman 'America's Most Hated Woman is a welcome addition to political science, legal, criminal justice, religious and general collections.' Academia, July 2005 'Seaman has combined three genres: intellectual biography of an undeniably historic figure, true-crime thriller, and detailed social history, copiously footnoted with published and unpublished sources. For the most part, the author lets O'Hair's actions and words speak for themselves - the most damning words are from the subject's own journals - but she frequently summarizes complex ideological arguments in clear and graceful prose, which vaults her a cut above the typical true-crime raconteurs.' The American Conservative, July 2005"

Ann Rowe Seaman, a native of Austin, Texas, is the author of Swaggart: The Unauthorized Biography of an American Evangelist.
