Lulu Wightman

Born in 1872 and known as Lulu Irene Wightman, she worked as an evangelist, lecturer, and author. Reliable biographical sources describe her as an effective public speaker and a passionate advocate for religious liberty, active especially in Seventh-day Adventist circles.

She also left a mark as a writer. Today she is most often associated with The Menace of Prohibition, a book that argued strongly against the Prohibition movement and reflected her concern for personal freedom and democratic government.

Accounts of her career credit her with unusually successful ministry work in New York and with helping establish multiple churches. She died in 1940.
