by Jean V. Matthews
"In The Rise of the New Woman, Jean Matthews chronicles the changing fortunes and transformations of the organized suffrage movement, from its dismal period of declining numbers and campaign failures to its final victory in the Nineteenth Amendment that brought women the vote. In an engaging narrative, she recaptures the personalities and ideas that characterized the movement in these years, drawing deft portraits and analyzing the intellectual currents - in politics, the economy, sexuality, and social thoughts - that competed for women's commitment. And she shows how new leadership and new strategies at last brought success in the long struggle that had seen many feminist leaders grow old."--BOOK JACKET.
