Book Description

Publication Date: 15 Dec 2007

Past biographies, histories, and government documents have ignored Alice Paul's contribution to the women's suffrage movement, but this groundbreaking study scrupulously fills the gap in the historical record. Masterfully framed by an analysis of Paul's non-violent and visual rhetorical strategies, "Alice Paul and the American Suffrage Campaign" narrates the remarkable story of the first person to picket the White House, the first to attempt a national political boycott, the first to burn the president in effigy, and the first to lead a successful campaign of non-violence. Katherine H. Adams and Michael L. Keene also chronicle other dramatic techniques that Paul deftly used to gain publicity for the suffrage movement. Stunningly woven into the narrative are accounts of many instances in which women were in physical danger. Rather than avoid discussion of Paul's imprisonment, hunger strikes, and forced feeding, the authors divulge the strategies she employed in her campaign. Paul's controversial approach, the authors assert, was essential in changing American attitudes toward women's suffrage.

Product Description

Review

"The book's authors provide a thorough examination of two aspects of Paul's work for suffrage: her reliance on nonviolence as the foundation for her campaign and her use of 'visual rhetoric' to advance the cause."--"Journalism History"

4.0 out of 5 stars Suffrage History 29 July 2010

By Fritza - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This was a selection for my book club and there were two of us who really enjoyed the book and several who didn't read it. It was written more as a research paper which perhaps would turn some people off. I found that it was very readable but perhaps some chapters were a bit detailed. I was glad to fill in this area of history and find out who carried the banner of suffrage forward after Susan B. Anthony and other well known names died in the early 1900's. Women's suffrage was not passed as a federal amendment until 1920 so Alice Paul was one of the key figures at this time. Her tenacity and non-violent methods were exemplary and I would recommend this book to broaden your understanding of America's history.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Role Model for Leaders 21 Oct 2012

By Anthony Avila - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I was moved to learn as much as I could about Alice Paul after viewing the film "Ironed Jawed Angels" with Hilary Swank. I've since read two books. I've wondered why this episode in American history is so obscure. It needs to be more fully developed in our history books. If anyone deserves to be placed among our great leaders on Mount Rushmore, it's Alice Paul. All men and women need to know her story and the women's suffrage movement. This movement had more impact on enhancing our democratic freedoms than any war fought following the American Revolution. The suffragists were no less heroic than the combat veterans who fought in all the wars in which our country has been engaged.
