The essays collected in this volume offer excellent insights into
the interconnectedness of the multitude of reform movements in the
nineteenth century and give new impulses in reconsidering the role
that Susan B. Anthony played in them.
*AMERIKASTUDIEN*
The multifaceted portrait it paints of Anthony as an activist and a
politician is an important contribution to the history of women's
rights in the United States.
*JOURNAL OF AMERICAN HISTORY*
This significant and timely collection puts Susan B. Anthony at the
center as it interrogates, expands, refines, and revises the grand
narrative of the women's rights movement. Important essays here
broaden our view of the world in which Anthony lived and worked,
bringing issues of race and ethnicity into the purview of
nineteenth-century feminism; other chapters analyze Anthony's
richly textured life along with the successes -- and frustrations
-- of her efforts to secure control over her legacy. --
