Book excerpt: This first-class collection of historical essays revises and rejects the view that American women after suffrage rejected feminism and sank into political apathy and unconsciousness. Rather, the authors point out the limitations of the view of suffrage as either solving all women's problems or as a disappointment and failure for the women's movement. The problems and choices facing women in these decades emerge in part from the very diversity of women's experiences and interests portrayed to such effect in the rest of this volume.
