Women Will Vote celebrates the 2017 centenary of women's right to
full suffrage in New York State. Susan Goodier and Karen Pastorello
highlight the activism of rural, urban, African American, Jewish,
immigrant, and European American women, as well as male
suffragists, both upstate and downstate, that led to the positive
outcome of the 1917 referendum. Goodier and Pastorello argue that
the popular nature of the women's suffrage movement in New York
State and the resounding success of the referendum at the polls
relaunched suffrage as a national issue. If women had failed to
gain the vote in New York, Goodier and Pastorello claim, there is
good reason to believe that the passage and ratification of the
Nineteenth Amendment would have been delayed. Women Will Vote makes
clear how actions of New York's patchwork of suffrage advocates
heralded a gigantic political, social, and legal shift in the
United States. Readers will discover that although these groups did
not always collaborate, by working in their own ways toward the
goal of enfranchising women they essentially formed a coalition.
Together, they created a diverse social and political movement that
did not rely solely on the motivating force of white elites and a
leadership based in New York City. Goodier and Pastorello
convincingly argue that the agitation and organization that led to
New York women's victory in 1917 changed the course of American
history.
