In 1881, three writers and rights activists, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth
Cady Stanton and Matilda Joslyn Gage, came together to publish the first
volume in their groundbreaking History of Woman Suffrage series - a
series that eventually went on to fill 5700 pages and lend weight to a
movement that changed the course of history for ever.
Taking its dedication from the first volume of the History - to the
memory of pioneering women whose 'earnest lives and fearless words...
have been, in the preparation of these pages, a constant inspiration' -
this volume collects together four essays that give an insight into the
work as a whole, and provide a rounded introduction to the history of
women's suffrage on both sides of the Atlantic.
'An indispensable source.' -Lisa Tetrault
'There is nothing in the annals of American reform quite like History of
Woman Suffrage.' - Ellen Carol DuBois
