Angels in the Machinery: Gender in American Party Politics from the Civil War to the Progressive Era
Angels in the Machinery is the book to read if you are looking for a scholarly take on Gilded Age developments in these three areas:
-Evolution of American Political Parties-
Both the Republican and Democratic parties have certainly undergone dramatic changes in terms of both ideology and political tactics, so it was interesting to see the reasons behind these transformations.
-Women's Emerging Political Participation & the Struggle for Suffrage-
Efforts of various women activists are well documented and placed in context. Often we learn about the activities of suffragists without gaining an understanding of their social and political environment. Edwards does an excellent job of explaining practical factors that drove suffragist's strategies.
-Temperance-
I was surprised to learn how prominent a role the Temperance movement played in social and political development during this period and how strongly it was tied to economic conditions.
My only criticism of Angels in the Machinery is that it can be dry-- but when I stop to consider the vast amount of information Edwards covers in a book that is just over 200 pages, I feel a bit hesitant to complain.
