Reviews

An important book for general readers and scholars alike. Sklar and Palmer provide an excellent account of the unifying themes of Forence Kelley's lifelong commitments to social legislation in general and women and children in particular. Ellen Carol DuBois, co-editor of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Feminist as Thinker: A Reader in Documents and Essays Since this is the first and only publication of Florence Kelley's correspondence, it marks a singular contribution to scholarship that is invaluable and long-awaited. This collection of Kelley's vivid correspondence, with its insightful introduction and excellent notes, has been well worth the wait. Charlene Haddock Seigfried, editor of Jane Addams' Democracy and Social Ethics and The Long Road of Women's Memory
