Book SynopsisTrade Review"
Citizens of the World is such a welcome addition to the exciting new work on women’s international thought and agency. Lucia Ames Mead, Fannie Fern Andrews, Rosika Schwimmer, Dorothy Kenyon, Edith Wynner—these are all among the many women whose names should count for more in international history. The fact that they are all Americans only underscores Megan Threlkeld’s message: American involvement and support for internationalist projects has a long history through the first half of twentieth century, and we need to know more!" * Glenda Sluga, University of Sydney *
"In Megan Threlkeld's skillful hands, women who previously have been remembered, if at all, as anecdotes in separate stories—of suffrage, pacifism, and reform—emerge as a community of creative thinkers, analysts, and activists. Histories of twentieth-century political thought now need to be rewritten. Our understanding of American women's international activism is greatly enriched by
Citizens of the World." * Linda Kerber, University of Iowa *
