An excellent addition to the Canadian series Women's Suffrage and the Struggle for Democracy, the volume is a meaningful contribution to the ongoing dialogue on human rights and social justice.- K. Jane Watt (BC History) A core rationale for this book series, Lara Campbell explains, is the need to 'tell regional stories' about the women's suffrage movement. Campbell's regional focus is justified by her treatment of elections at the municipal level and for school boards. - Barbara J. Messamore, University of the Fraser Valley (BC Studies) ...[A Great Revolutionary Wave] compellingly argues that the stories of women's suffrage cannot be read in isolation without recognizing their intimate connections with the stories of all people who were discriminated against and denied the vote on account of race, ethnicity, religion, marital status, and other characteristics of their personal, social, and political identities. - Dominique Garingan, Library Manager, Parlee McLaws LLC (Canadian Law Library Review) Her book makes a valuable contribution to the understanding of herstory. - Phyllis Reeve (The Ormsby Review)
