In 1881, three writers and rights activists, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Matilda Joslyn Gage, came together to publish the first volume in their groundbreaking
History of Woman Suffrage series - a series that eventually went on to fill 5700 pages and lend weight to a movement that changed the course of history for ever.
Taking its dedication from the first volume of the
History - to the memory of pioneering women whose 'earnest lives and fearless words... have been, in the preparation of these pages, a constant inspiration' - this volume collects together four essays that give an insight into the work as a whole, and provide a rounded introduction to the history of women's suffrage on both sides of the Atlantic.
'An indispensable source.' -Lisa Tetrault
'There is nothing in the annals of American reform quite like History of Woman Suffrage.' - Ellen Carol DuBois
