Independently Published Channeling anna fletcher, paperback/tim gilmore

As the wife of Duncan Upshaw Fletcher, twice mayor of Jacksonville and 27 year Florida senator, Anna Louise Fletcher spent her life navigating the complicated channels of women's rights, when they were few, and women's roles and responsibilities.

While her husband devoted his life to the body politic, Anna dedicated hers to the spirit politic.

She hosted s ances, opened the Fletcher home to spirit mediums, wrote books about spirit trumpets and ectoplasm, and argued the cause of Spiritualism against Harry Houdini before Congress.

Channeling Anna Fletcher tells a story of one woman who struggled to find a voice, wield strength, and exercise purpose through the strictures and proprieties of her time.
