Produktbeschreibung

1. The second edition includes four new chapters, in addition to the material that was in the first edition of One Woman, One Vote, which was the companion book to the PBS American Experience documentary by the same name. The book and video, first published in 1995, have continued to be the most comprehensive collection of writings on the woman suffrage movement in the U.S. and used in university, college, and some advanced high school classes. 2. There are twenty-three chapters in the new edition, focusing on different aspects of the woman's suffrage movement, emphasizing the racism, sexism, and struggle for the vote and equality. 3. Contributions from twenty different scholars tell the story of woman suffrage, from the failure of the Constitution to enfranchise women to the political engagement of women after 1920 to the outcome of the 2020 presidential election. 4. Through their engaging essays, scholars in the fields of History, American Studies, Political Science, and Sociology, help readers "rediscover" the suffrage movement in all its diversity and complexity, offering intriguing and sometimes contradictory interpretations. 5. New material in the Second Edition adds further diversity to the book. This includes an in-depth piece on the international history of the U.S. Suffrage Movement and its influences on the U.S. fight for woman suffrage. Also, how women worldwide collaborated across national borders-many of them women of color fighting for the right to vote as a global goal. 6. New chapter on the Southern states' resistance to the woman's vote, "Bringing in the South: Southern Ladies, White Supremacy, and State's Rights in the Fight for Woman Suffrage." She describes the long and often frustrating campaign beginning in the 1890s by northern and southern suffragists to build support for woman suffrage in a decidedly inhospitable climate-an effort shaped by widespread ideas about white supremacy and state's rights among white Southerners who viewed the movement as an unwelcome offshoot of the antislavery movement that had "no place in the sunny South." 7. The new edition includes appendices illustrating international progress of woman suffrage, dates of state ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, and the expansion of voting rights in the U.S. after 1920. The book is richly illustrated and contains an extensive index 8. Above all, the essays in this book illustrate well that the vote was not "given" to women when the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified in 1920: generations of suffragists labored long and hard to win the right to vote in the United States.
