“Jean H. Baker’s fine book gives us a believable Margaret Sanger—brave, shrewd, attractive, and flawed.”—Dorothy Ross, Arthur O. Lovejoy Professor Emerita of History, Johns Hopkins University

"[The authors] have sorted out the fruits of this wave of feminism—intended and unintended, media mess and truth—for a new generation. With wit and honesty, Manifesta shows us the building blocks of the future of this longest revolution."—Gloria Steinem

"Superb . . . Having been squeezed out of a role in national civil and women's rights organizations, Wells lost a prominent place in the historical record. It took several generations before her relentless and often discomforting agitation for social justice received the appreciation it deserved, as scholars over the last twenty years gradually reestablished her place in history. Mia Bay's lucid biography contributes enormously to this project."—Andrew Feffer, History News Network

"This exemplary book covers the economic myths of motherhood through the stark testimonies of childcare hardships and financial inequality in marriage . . . A wonderful resource for students of economics, women's studies, politics . . . this book should be a wake-up call to America."—Kay Meredith Dusheck, University of Iowa, Iowa City, Library Journal

"Lori Ginzberg makes a convincing case for Stanton as the founding philosopher of the American women’s rights movement in a lively voice that enhances her eccentric subject."—Andrea Cooper, American History

"In an engaging biography, Miller shows that even though the flag story is riddled with improbabilities, the life of the woman who came to be known as Betsy Ross is worth recovering . . . Through skillful use of small details, Miller sustains her repeated assertion that the future Betsy Ross was often 'only a handshake away' from the men who made the Revolution . . . Miller's admiring biography will warm the hearts of those who love the Betsy Ross legend. It may also convince skeptics (Miller refers to them as 'naysayers') that there is something in the flag stories worth considering."—Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, The New York Times
