"An excellent collection of articles exploring the role of journalism in creating, maintaining, and developing the analysis and membership of the first wave of American feminism. Drawing on theories of social movements from the discipline of communications, this volume, expertly edited by Martha Solomon, begins with the relationship between the suffrage movement and newspapers.... Seven useful case studies follow. Historians will benefit from this volume's meticulous documentation of a plethora of publications and its discussion of their rhetorical strategies." - Signs: The Journal of Women in Culture and Society; "A work of great historical interest... well-edited and well-annotated."
