Description
Book SynopsisIn recent decades, the woman suffrage movement has taken on new significance for women's history. This book traces the trajectory of the suffrage story against backdrop of changing attitudes to politics, citizenship and gender, and the resultant tensions over such issues as slavery and abolitionism, sexuality and religion, and class and politics.
Trade Review"The anthology is an excellent reader... stimulating, for together {the essays} become more than the sum of their parts…offering the reader an overview of the subject and a chronicle of the development of the field of U.S. women's history over the past twenty years." * Women's Review of Books *
"DuBois has written a powerful testament to the importance of being radical--of igniting revolutionary change with the social dynamite of claims to race and gender justice." * In These Times *
