Jill Richards argues that these movements were deeply interconnected. Rather than focus on the demand for the vote, \u003ci\u003eThe Fury Archives\u003c\/i\u003e turns to the daily practices and social worlds of feminist action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Fury Archives\u003c\/i\u003e is a \u003ci\u003etour-de-force\u003c\/i\u003e study of modernist women’s struggles for citizenship and human rights across transnational geographies. Richards reminds us of the variegated sites and everydayness of politics—from the sphere of reproductive labor to the quotidian committee meeting—and offers a compelling genealogy of the intersections between women’s rights and human rights. It is one of the most nuanced accounts of politics as praxis I have ever read. -- Janice Ho, author of \u003ci\u003eNation and Citizenship in the Twentieth-Century British Novel\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJill Richards’s exploration of “the daily life of feminist action” brilliantly trains our attention on aspects of revolutionary work—routines and tactics, protocols and cycles—too often obscured in later histories. Traversing disciplines, genres, and oceans in unprecedented ways, it requires us to reconsider many of our most cherished assumptions about the relation between avant-garde art and political aspiration. -- Douglas Mao, author of \u003ci\u003eFateful Beauty: Aesthetic Environments, Juvenile Development, and Literature 1860-1960\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJill Richards’s book is masterful in its range of inquiries, beautifully written, and elegantly argued. The research supporting the book’s radical and provocative arguments is also exceptionally thorough and meticulously engaged; it synthesizes and builds upon a number of comprehensive historical and theoretical debates. -- Elizabeth S. Anker, Cornell University\u003cbr\u003eThe range of objects in \u003ci\u003eThe Fury Archives\u003c\/i\u003e is truly impressive, and Richards tackles every object and text that she has excavated for analysis with great skill . . . Richards presents life stories that are not recorded in mainstream history and the unearthing of which creates a more inclusive, accurate, and complete picture of history. * ASAP\/Journal *\u003cbr\u003eThe sense of this being a history of the present is hard to ignore . . . That strategies such as the occupation of public spaces as an act of protest, strikes to try to accelerate governmental action or the naming of names as an act of acknowledgement and remembrance remain familiar and continue to be employed make many of the decades-old archives seem eerily contemporary. * ArtReview Asia *\u003cbr\u003eTraversing the boundary between the intimate and the public, Richards shows us how to look anew at female citizenship . . . [\u003ci\u003eThe Fury Archives\u003c\/i\u003e] offers important methodological insights to human rights scholars concerned with the field's over-reliance on narrative history. * Human Rights Quarterly *\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to rewriting the history of the avant-garde . . . to reveal more complicated entanglements with female citizenship, \u003ci\u003eThe Fury Archives\u003c\/i\u003e offers an energizing model for how we might study feminist activism, sustain ourselves through the long slog of collective action, and intervene in our own here and now. * Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I.
