By placing New York State at the center of their work, Goodier and Pastorello are able to flesh out the movement's nuance, widening their scope to encompass a breadth of suffrage activists and organizations, like the Jamestown Political Equality Club (1887), one of the many political coalitions for women in upstate New York.\u003c\/p\u003e (The Gotham Center for NYC History Blog) \u003cp\u003eHighly recommended to those interested in women's history as well as the history of New York State.\u003c\/p\u003e (Library Journal) \u003cp\u003eThis stellar book... presents new information on the seven-decade struggle that culminated in the passing of the New York State referendum granting women—except Native American women—full suffrage.\u003c\/p\u003e (Choice) \u003cp\u003eAn important book... engagingly written.\u003c\/p\u003e (New York History) \u003cp\u003eThe book makes good use of letters and personal papers in general—and I found especially useful the papers and oral history of Mary Elizabeth Pidgeon, who volunteered with the National American Woman Suffrage Association after graduating from college, was invited to speak at a conference, attended a brief training session, and eventually became a paid organizer, working first in Buffalo and later in Auburn.
