Women's different political styles influenced party strategy, changed party structures, and colored party ideology. From studies of individual women, such as Daisy Harriman, Florence Prag Kahn, and Nina Otero Warren, to examinations of movements, such as Socialist women in California and women's work in presidential campaigns, this book attempts to recover the diversity of women's political commitment, loyalties, and tactics. These timely and engaging essays will be welcomed by students of women's political history.

"This valuable book demonstrates convincingly that women have been immersed in partisan politics since the Gilded Age. It is ideal reading for courses in modern women's history." -- Lewis L. Gould, Eugene C. Barker Centennial Professor Emeritus in American History at the University of Texas at Austin.
