Eva Kinney Griffith

Eva Kinney Griffith Miller (née, Kinney; after first marriage, Griffith; after second marriage, Miller; November 8, 1852 – 1918) was an American journalist, temperance activist, novelist, newspaper editor, and journal publisher. She served as a lecturer and organizer of the Wisconsin Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) for several years. Her illustrated lectures lead to her being referred to as "Wisconsin Chalk Talker." She wrote temperance lessons and poems for the Temperance Banner and The Union Signal. She also published a temperance novel A Woman's Evangel (Chicago, 1892), having already put out a volume named Chalk Talk Handbook (1887), and True Ideal, a journal devoted to purity and faith studies. In 1891, Miller moved to Chicago where she became a special writer for the Daily News Record, and afterwards, an editor on the Chicago Times, and by this means, she made public her views on temperance.
