"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 lively and provocative analysis of the political battles and intellectual conflicts faced by women committed to both socialism and women's emancipation."--International Labor and Working-Class History
"A brilliantly comprehensive, analytical, and perceptive work on an important movement in US history. Highly recommended."--Library Journal
