Gayle Gullett's Becoming Citizens is the first book to examine California women's activism in the Progressive Era from 1880 to 1911. Gullett argues that there were two stages of the California women's movement. The first stage promoted women's domestic, wage, public service, and political work. Once California women voiced support for suffrage in 1896, the second stage fought for women's citizenship. |
