| Abstract
|
:
|
"In this new study, Rebecca J. Mead shows that western suffrage came about as the result of the unsettled state of regional politics, the complex nature of western race relations, broad alliances between suffragists and farmer-labor-progressive reformers, and sophisticated activism by western women. She highlights suffrage racism and elitism as major problems for the movement, and places special emphasis on the political adaptability of western suffragists whose improvisational tactics earned them progress."
