''This splendid book should demonstrate to the still unconvinced that the new scholarship of the past decade on women has, by enriching our understanding of the place of women, deepened our understanding of the historical process in general. . . . The exhaustive and imaginative research in this study creates a texture of rich detail about a variety of little-known aspects of women's history, labor history, and radical history and begins the rewriting of the history of American socialism.'' -- Journal of American History''. . . a brilliantly comprehensive, analytical, and perceptive work on an important movement in US history. Highly recommended.'' -- Library Journal
