?The stereotypical American woman after suffrage is a white,
middle-class woman who goes from the emancipated glory of being a
flapper to the staid satisfactions of being a housewife. The image
suggests that women themselves rejected feminism and sank into
political apathy and unconsciousness. This first-class collection
of historical essays revises and rejects this view, pointing out
the limitations of the view of suffrage as either solving all
women's problems or as a disappointment and failure for the women's
movement. The problems and choices facing women in these decades
emerge in part from the very diversity of women's experiences and
interests portrayed to such effect in the rest of this volume. ...
The well-written essays nicely tread the narrow line where
technical sophistication meets popular interest. ... By bringing
them together here, the editors have done a real favor to
nonspecialists. Excellent annotated bibliography. Both academic and
public libraries.?-Choice
