Item Description

Alice Paul --Claiming Power by J.D. Zahniser & Amelia R. Fry

"Much has been written on Alice Paul, but this long-awaited and fascinating new biography based on years of research by Amelia R. Fry and years more by J.DD. Zahniser, takes us from Paul's childhood through her years in England to the victory for woman suffrage in 1920 and accomplishes what the intensely private suffrage leader deliberately made difficult, introducing us to the fascinating individual behing the public image" 
Marjorie J. Spruill, Professor of History, University of South Carolina

"Alice Paul: Claiming Power is an exhaustively researched and meticulously crafted work.  Using previously untapped original sources, it is undoubtedly the definitive biograpy of Pau during the suffrage era.  This book elevates Paul to the position she should command as one of the consummate political masters of the twentieth century.  Paul's leadership genius made the suffrage movement one of the two most successful "rights" movements in the nation's history--one that claimed political power for more than half the poplulation in a bloodless poltical revolution." 
Edith P. Mayo, Curator Emeritus of Polital History, Smithsonian Institution

Hard bound, 395 pagess, 2014
