Women's Suffrage in America

December 1, 1992
YA- -In this election year, when an unprecedented number of American women are running for national elective office, it seems a particularly opportune time to recount the historic fight for the woman's right to vote. And what better way to tell it than through the speeches and writings of those who lived it: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt, and the other pioneers of the women's suffrage movement in America. Here, the women tell their own story through letters, diaries, novels, and newspaper articles. It's a lively and important sourcebook for students of American political and cultural history.- Richard Lisker, Fairfax County Public Library, VA
