How the Personal Became Political In the Fight to Grant Women Civil RightsThey forever changed America: Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frances Willard, Alice Paul. At their revolutions start in the 1840s, a womans right to speak in public was questioned. By its conclusion in 1920, the victory in womans suffrage had also encompassed the most fundamental rights of citizenship: the right to control wages, hold property, to contract, to sue, to testify in court. Their struggle was confrontational (women were the first to picket the White House for a political cause) and violent (women were arrested, jailed, and force-fed in prisons). And like every revolutionary before them, their struggle was personal.For the first time, the eminent historian Jean H. Baker tellingly interweaves these womens private lives with their public achievements, presenting these revolutionary women in three dimensions, humanized, and marvelously approachable.About the Author:Jean H. Baker teachers history at Goucher College and is the author of James Buchanan and Mary Todd Lincoln: A Biography. She lives in Baltimore, Maryland.
