DuBois is a celebrated professor of history at UCLA whose writings on women's history brought us a new understanding of the nineteenth century. This book on the origins of the U.S. woman suffrage movement came from her doctoral dissertation in 1975. It serves as the foundation for the narrative of the history of the fight for what became the 19th Amendment.
