Critical acclaim

Praise for One Woman, One Vote: Rediscovering the Woman Suffrage Movement, Second Edition, Marjorie J. Spruill, Editor (NewSage Press, 2021) 

Suffragists were the voting rights activists of their day. This revised and expanded edition of One Woman, One Vote tells the story of that hard-fought victory, warts and all.  At a moment when questions of gender, race, and citizenship are center stage once again, the history of the women's suffrage movement remains timely and relevant -- and a really good read.

A timely expansion of Marjorie Spruill’s seminal anthology on the long, complex struggle for woman suffrage that continues the story of women and the vote forward from 1920 through the voting rights struggles of today. This new edition is a welcome contribution and update to the lessons from our nation’s history that we continue to examine with fresh eyes.

– Lori Ann Terjesen, Director of Education, National Women’s History Museum.
 

Few volumes capture the movement so vividly, from so many vantage points, illuminating the complexity and contradictions of this major epoch of our history. This new edition is a welcome gift to a new generation of readers, who will find it both a fascinating read and a valuable resource.

—Elaine Weiss, Author of The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote

 

One Woman, One Vote has been indispensable to me as I've worked to learn so much of the history that I'd not been taught about the nation and its centuries-long struggle toward full enfranchisement. I had been taught very little in school — shockingly little — about the lengthy, complex, fraught movement for women’s suffrage in this country. When I began to learn about the movement, I turned to this compilation of academic perspectives over and over again, learning about the movement’s horrifying racial politics, the many strategic approaches taken by different activists at different stages, the arguments about whether to create a proletariat coalition or appeal to elite women, and the domestic remaking of Susan B. Anthony. It’s a terrific resource for those who want to know about suffrage from many different angles.
