description: Stone (history, Western Michigan U.) recounts the history of French Radical Democrats, from their beginnings as a semilegal opposition group, through their role as the largest political party in the Third Republic's Chamber of Deputies, to their eventual defeat and obscurity. She analyzes the political culture of the Third Republic against a backdrop of gender and class conflict and the birth of the career politician, and chronicles the struggles of Camille Pelletan and his colleagues to construct a truly democratic society.
