description: An intersectional anthology of works by the known and unknown women that shaped and established the suffrage movement in time for the 2020 centennial of women's right to vote with a foreword by Gloria SteinemComprised of historical texts spanning two centuries The Women's Suffrage Movement is a comprehensive and singular volume with a distinctive focus on incorporating race class and gender and illuminating minority voices. This one-of-a-kind intersectional anthology features the writings of the most well-known suffragists such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony alongside accounts of those often overlooked because of their race from Native American women to African American suffragists like Ida B. Wells and the three Forten sisters. At a time of enormous political and social upheaval there could be no more important book than one that recognizes a group of exemplary women--in their own words--as they paved the way for future generations. The editor and introducer Sally Roesch Wagner is a pre-eminent scholar of the diverse backbone of the women's suffrage movement the founding director of the Matilda Joslyn Gage Foundation and serves on the New York State Women's Suffrage Commission.
