What is After the Vote Was Won : the Later Achievements of Fifteen Suffragists about?

vii, 200 p. : 23 cm, \"Because scholars have traditionally only examined the efforts of American suffragists in relation to electoral politics, the history books have missed the story of what these women sought to achieve outside the realm of voting reform. Though Stanton, Anthony, and Mott are the best known figures of the woman's suffrage movement, all were dead more than a decade before women actually achieved the vote. Women like Alice Paul, Louisine Havermeyer, and Mary Church Terrell carried on their work, putting their campaign experiences to work long after the 19th Amendment was ratified. This book tells the story of how these women made an indelible mark on American history in fields ranging from education to art, science, publishing, and social activism.\"--Provided by publisher, Includes bibliographical references and index, In America : picketing, jail, and torture -- Suffragists as collectors and artists : affecting a cultural future -- Not to simply teach, but to transform education -- Influence through a writing career -- A continuing life of activism -- After 1920 : the lives of other suffragists
