Woman's history is the context for a true understanding of current affairs in the West. I worked for the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment in 1981 which failed due to ignorance of the history of how the suffragists won the vote in 1920. The current battle for reproductive rights continues largely because of the ignorance of the history of these Sisters. Mahatma Gandhi is often extolled for the victories of Martin Luther King Jr and of President Obama. While slavery was being overcome by the abolitionists; suffragists were being ridiculed; jailed and force fed. Gandhi's nonviolence movement was practiced by the suffragists before Satyagraha became a household word. Roe vs. Wade can be understood only in the context of woman's history. The woman's movement for freedom is alive and will win in the end. Know the facts of history and freedom for both men and women will come sooner rather than later.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. The women who shaped historyBy LaurenI must admit the only reason I started reading this book was because it was required reading for my Leadership class. I thought it sounded interesting from the options; and decided to give it a try. Going into this book I only had heard bits and pieces of the lives of these women; and had mainly focused my attention on Susan B. Anthony. I was amazed to learn about the other four women who had such a large part in this movement between 1840 and 1920. Jean Baker's ability to turn nonfiction facts into engaging tales of the peaks and valleys in the lives of these amazing women kept me reading. I was interested from the opening sentence of each women's story; and had to find out how their lives played out. These stories don't often get told; and I think everyone should take time to read about these extraordinary American women who changed the world.9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Five Well-documented Biographical HistoriesBy K. VestalJean Baker has provided a fascinating memoir of five amazingly strong women in the fabric of America's history. Through carefully documented and responsibly interpreted research; she gives the reader a clear view into the public and private lives of five of the suffragettes: Lucy Stone; Susan B. Anthony; Elizabeth Cady Stanton; Frances Willard and Alice Paul. Each of the 5 biographies can be read alone; although a reading of all 5 adds richness and depth to the understanding of the period and the suffrage movement. Definitely a 5-star read! Highly recommended for personal reading or as a required text for college history or women's studies classes.Recommended companion DVDs: "Iron Jawed Angels" and "Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony: Not for Ourselves Alone;" both available from .
