“In this rich and vivid analysis, Uprising animates how activists invoked ‘the West’ to argue for and against a woman’s right to vote. Tiffany Lewis’s writing is clear and elegant as she illuminates strategies that invoked and transformed meanings of the US West, including parades, flags, and a crosscountry road trip. This is a must-read for scholars of rhetoric, women’s rights, history, protest, and regionalism.” —BELINDA A.
