"Women's Suffrage in the Americas provides an outstanding analysis of the long and often drawn-out process of attaining women's suffrage in the western hemisphere. Due attention is given to the unevenness of the process, not only across the Americas but within each country with respect to which groups of women (and men) were excluded as suffrage was extended."—Carmen Diana Deere, coauthor of Empowering Women: Land and Property Rights in Latin America "Women's Suffrage in the Americas is a collaborative project working to understand how women in the Americas obtained the suffrage. The result is a collection of essays that is rich in local histories and, placed in comparative context, offers thoughtful explanations for the different trajectories of women's suffrage across the Americas."—Susie S. Porter, author of From Angel to Office Worker: Middle-Class Identity and Female Consciousness in Mexico, 1890-1950
