Independent scholar Freeman points out that American women have been activists and candidates from the beginning of the republic, and describes here the ways women sought power and influence since before the turn of the twentieth century. In a series of case studies she shows how women participated in New York City politics, how their influence grew in the 1912 elections, how Virginian politics played a part in the Equal Rights Amendment, why history has ignored the 50 or so women candidates for the US presidency, how women pioneers fared in acceptance and effectiveness, how feminism and anti-feminism play in the two major parties, why protection is not equality, and what happened to the idea of "comparable worth."
