Review Quotes: "Ellen DuBois tells us the long drama of women's fight for the vote, without privileging polite lobbying over radical disobedience-or vice versa. In so doing, she gives us the gift of a full range of tactics now, and also the understanding that failing to vote is a betrayal of our foremothers and ourselves."
