In the destructive shadow of the Gilded Age, the whims of railroad tycoons decided farmers’ fates. Searching for governmental and economic alternatives, socialist and anarchist labor movements galvanized many Kansans. Farmers started organizing across the state and built a grassroots movement that became the Populist Party. The Populist Party held revival-like rallies attracting thousands of people in attendance. Mary Elizabeth Lease was an architect and lead orator of the party. Often called the People’s Joan of Arc, Lease fought at the intersections of racial, gender, and economic liberation. In her time she gave over 160 speeches across Kansas, bridging the gaps between industrial union activities and the growing labor movement of farmers across the Midwest.

"Raise Less Corn and More Hell" is a quote credited to her. When asked about the quote, she suggested she didn’t believe she had said it but found it to be a good piece of advice, so she claimed it.
