Description

Book Synopsis
A Hemisphere of Women focuses on the first Pan American women's organization dealing specifically with women's civil and political rights in a transnational arena in the early twentieth century.

Trade Review
“Important and quite timely. What a fabulous inquiry Wamsley has presented us! This single work contributes to many areas and is also significant as it examines a pertinent moment in history primarily from the Latin American perspective rather than the imperial American perspective. A Hemisphere of Women is grounded in a wealth of archival resources and offers a strongly balanced perspective given the bilateral story Wamsley tells. This book is not only exceptionally well researched; it is beautifully written.”—Dana Cooper, author of Informal Ambassadors: American Women, Transatlantic Marriages, and Anglo-American Relations, 1865–1945
