This book is an in-depth analysis of how the National Woman's
Party's militancy evolved during the period of early twentieth
century feminism and American suffrage as a response to the
intransigence of male-centered government. Working first as
aggressive political lobbyists in an era of progressive reform, the
militants brought their struggle on into a period of war hysteria
in which they developed an effective strategy of nonviolent civil
disobedience as anti-government dissenters. Feminist militancy and
readiness to resist authorities and break the law for women's
rights developed gradually. Women militants, composed of a wide
variety of intensely committed women, were not shy about critiquing
male oppression and in turn, male authorities responded to the
perceived threat of these unnatural 'iron-jawed' females. This
study examines the nature of these militants, with biographical
sketches, and their evolution from petitions to pickets to prison.
Selected by the Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Human Rights
in the United States as an outstanding book.
