The American Flag Book

If you're interested in women's suffrage, this is simply a "must read." The speeches and essays in this book were clearly selected with care to form a complete picture of the history of women's suffrage in the United States, beginning long before the Seneca Falls convention. The works of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of America's truly great rhetors, are featured prominently but not without thought. One can trace the origins of the rhetoric, the splintering of the movement in the late 1800s, and then the final push for voting rights, including all the critical final efforts of Carrie Chapman Catt. Totally comprehensive with only minimal (but excellent) editorializing. Put together just perfectly.
