They forever changed America: Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony,
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frances Willard, Alice Paul. At their
revolution's start in the 1840s, a woman's right to speak in public
was questioned. By its conclusion in 1920, the victory in woman's
suffrage had also encompassed the most fundamental rights of
citizenship: the right to control wages, hold property, to
contract, to sue, to testify in court. Their struggle was
confrontational (women were the first to picket the White House for
a political cause) and violent (women were arrested, jailed, and
force-fed in prisons). And like every revolutionary before them,
their struggle was personal.
For the first time, the eminent historian Jean H. Baker tellingly
interweaves these women's private lives with their public
achievements, presenting these revolutionary women in three
dimensions, humanized, and marvelously approachable.
