Inez Milholland was the most glamorous suffragist of the 1910s and
a fearless crusader for women's rights. Moving in radical circles,
she agitated for social change in the prewar years, and she
epitomized the independent New Woman of the time. Her death at age
30 while stumping for suffrage in California in 1916 made her the
sole martyr of the American suffrage movement. Her death helped
inspire two years of militant protests by the National Woman's
Party, including the picketing of the White House, which led in
1920 to ratification of the 19th Amendment granting women the right
to vote. Lumsden's study of this colorful and influential figure
restores to history an important link between the homebound women
of the 19th century and the iconoclastic feminists of the 1970s.
