Description

Book Synopsis
At the beginning of the 1920s, no political observer would have predicted that universal suffrage would inspire the growth of a conservative women's movement to counter the power of women reformers. This book describes the birth of that movement, analyzing its enduring legacy for twentieth-century female political activists.

Trade Review
"Battling Miss Bolsheviki is a well-written addition to scholarship on women's social movements in the United States. . . . It should be read by anyone interested in women's politics in the twentieth century." * Women and Social Movements, International *
