A Century of Votes for Women examines how women voted in the first 100 years of suffrage. Challenging the idea of 'the woman voter', the authors trace how the press, politicians, and scholars have described women voters and how different groups of women actually voted across a momentous century.
The book offers an in-depth exploration of women's voting behaviors in presidential elections following the suffrage movement. It examines the challenges and triumphs women faced as they engaged in the electoral process for the first time, highlighting their evolving political identities and the societal impact of their participation. Through detailed analysis, it sheds light on the significance of women's ballots in shaping democracy and the ongoing struggle for equal representation in politics.
