Reviews

'Christina Wolbrecht and J. Kevin Corder have provided a remarkable and fitting tribute to mark the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in the United States. Their unprecedented, comprehensive, analytic overview of women's voting behavior is an indispensable resource for scholars, practitioners, and citizens interested in understanding the important and changing roles women voters have played in our elections over time.' Susan Carroll, Rutgers University, New Jersey 'Wolbrecht and Corder offer an examination of the consequences of Women's Suffrage that fundamentally changes how we think about this question. The hallmarks of their approach to scholarship - deep and thoughtful embedding in existing literature on voting and vote choice, constant and careful engagement with context, continual and detailed and precise attention to what data of what quality were available for previous analyses - give this book the powerful counterfactuals that drive their fascinating analyzes.' Nancy Burns, University of Michigan 'A Century of Votes for Women will be the touchstone for understanding the political history of US women and the vote for years to come. Accessible and highly readable, the book is informed by political and social history and employs the best social science data available to explore the factors that explain US women's voting behavior across five time periods, chronicling the post-suffrage transformations of women into voters. Incorporating meaningful critiques of essentialism, gender norms, and assumptions about women, the authors decenter men's voting behavior as a universal standard and analyze conventional explanations for women's voting behavior that do not stand the test of time but that nonetheless persist.'

A Century of Votes for Women probes the historical record to give a thoughtful and interesting answer.' '... a timely framework to evaluate the political roles that women will continue to play in 2020 and beyond.' Kristi Anderson, Ms. Magazine
