€œThe book you are about to read tells the story of one of the great social movements in American history. The struggle for women€s voting rights was one of the longest, most successful, and in some respects most radical challenges ever posed to the American system of electoral politics€¦ It is difficult to imagine now a time when women were largely removed by custom, practice, and law from the formal political rights and responsibilities that supported and sustained the nation€s young democracy€¦ For sheer drama the suffrage movement has few equals in modern American political history.€€•From the Preface by Ellen Fitzpatrick
