When women won the vote in the United States in 1920 they were
still routinely barred from serving as jurors, but some began
vigorous campaigns for a place in the jury box. This book tells the
story of how women mobilized in fifteen states to change jury laws
so that women could gain this additional right of citizenship. Some
campaigns quickly succeeded; others took substantially longer. The
book reveals that when women strategically adapted their tactics to
the broader political environment, they were able to speed up the
pace of jury reform, while less strategic movements took longer. A
comparison of the more strategic women's jury movements with those
that were less strategic shows that the former built coalitions
with other women's groups, took advantage of political
opportunities, had past experience in seeking legal reforms and
confronted tensions and even conflict within their ranks in ways
that bolstered their action.
