Early-twentieth-century women's labor and suffrage activism has provided a fertile field for historians interested in relationships between women and men of the working classes, between immigrant workers of different ethnicities, and between women's rights advocates attempting to build coalitions across class lines. Ann Schofield's "To Do & to Be" is a lovely addition to this growing body of literature, providing brief, analytically sophisticated sketches of four women activists whose careers embodied the complexities of labor feminism before the 1960s. |
