The deep dives into the careers of women, some of whom became national figures, are very rich. Individual stories bring to light many themes of women and politics, such as the tension between the strengths and risks of organizing (or running) as women; the importance of networks and allies; and the perils of assuming that women are necessarily allied with each other. I would use this book in my regular course on women's political history. - Catherine Rymph, University of Missouri Ladies Day at the Capitol is a valuable state level look at an important topic.
