America’s Most Hated Woman
The Life and Gruesome Death of Madalyn Murray O'Hair
The atheist campaigner who took prayer out of US schools, and the men who murdered her.
Madalyn Murray O’Hair brought the case that ended mandatory prayer in American public schools, founded American Atheists, and was murdered in 1995 by a former employee along with her son and granddaughter. Seaman works from court records, contemporary press and surviving witnesses, and the portrait is unflattering and thorough in equal measure.
