Overview

Seventeen essays on women in partisan politics before the modern era by Melanie Gustafson, Kristie Miller, and Elisabeth Israels Perry. These stories show that women’s participation in political parties has been much more lengthy and varied that previously thought. They show the diversity of women’s political commitment, loyalties, and tactics.
