This thorough survey offers excerpts from books that range in date from the 1600s through 1998. The broad spectrum of viewpoints results in a concise, objective picture of this topic. Much of the writing conveys not only the facts of how women's suffrage was achieved but also a sense of the personalities behind the struggle. Particu-larly interesting is RobertCooney's piece, "A Lasting Affirmation of Democracy," in which he emphasizes the importance of the movement as "one of the most remarkable and successful nonviolent efforts to change ingrained social attitudes andinstitutions in the modern era." While the volume includes such familiar names and places as Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Seneca Falls, Stalcup balances the book with articles about early African-American suffragists and militant suffragism. Inclusion of these varied histories has resulted in some repetition. Although all of the material is available in other sources, some of the original works are are now out of print. The appendix supplies excerpts from 25 well-chosen documents. A few average-quality, black-and-white photos are scattered throughout. The book concludes with an accurate index, an inclusive chronology, and a topical bibliography. Overall, this is a solid addition to a field of study that is finally being recognized as an essential chapter in history.
