Book Review

Woman Suffrage and Women's Rights. By Ellen Carol DuBois. (New York: New York University Press, 1998. viii, 309 pp. Cloth, $55.00, ISBN 0-8147-1900-7. Paper, $18.50, ISBN 08147-1901-5.)

Since 1975, Ellen Carol DuBois has helped shape the field of women's history, making it her mission to emphasize what is explicitly political in the history of feminism. In the 1970s and 1980s, when many women's historians were focusing on (white) women's separate spheres, their experiences as wives and mothers, and their erotic friendships with other women, DuBois cautioned against romanticizing women's culture. Instead, she focused on the ideology and activism of white suffragists, in particular Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, publishing a monograph, Feminism and Suffrage (1978, 1999), a volume of Stanton and Anthony's correspondence and speeches (1981, 1992), and a biography of Stanton's daughter, Harriot Stanton Blatch (1997). This anthology assembles DuBois's major articles of the last quarter century, including eight on suffrage, her classic piece on sexuality coauthored with Linda Gordon, and several articles on the history of the liberal tradition within feminism. . . .
