The Alice Paul Institute. <http://www.alicepaul.org/api.htm> Site index page: “The Alice Paul Institute is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 corporation based in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. It was founded in 1984 by a group of dedicated volunteers to commemorate the centennial of Alice Paul’s 1885 birth and to further her legacy. The organization was operated by volunteers for more than a decade. Today, four staff members, as well as volunteers, oversee the daily business and special events at Paulsdale.” The website contains a great deal of biographical and other information about Alice Paul.

Catt, Carrie Chapman (1859-1947), Nettie Rogers Shuler 1865-1939, joint author.Woman suffrage and politics; the inner story of the suffrage movement, Seattle, University of Washington Press 1969, c1926. This is not so much a history as Carrie Chapman Catt’s story with her point of view. Readers should be suspicious not just of her point of view — which is often impressionistic rather than based on any real research — but also as to what is left out. For instance, there are only two references to Alice Paul and no mention of the National Woman’s Party. Catt may have honestly believed that they are of no significance to the history of the suffrage movement. If so, that in itself speaks volumes. Still, Catt has provided much valuable information about the workings of the suffrage movement.

Cooney, Robert P. J. Winning the Vote: The Triumph of the American Woman Suffrage Movement. The book’s website describes this book as follows: “Winning the Vote captures the color and excitement of a central, inspiring, but largely unknown chapter in American history. This hefty, beautifully designed book presents the woman suffrage movement clearly and chronologically, with emphasis on the remarkable personalities and turbulent political campaigns of the early 20th century. Nearly 1,000 photographs, posters, and leaflets – plus portraits of suffrage leaders both white and black and including several men – illustrate the movement’s fascinating 72-year history. Large format photographs and a fast paced text highlight key developments between 1848 and 1920, including over 50 state electoral campaigns and the final controversial drive for the 19th amendment, ratified in 1920.” American Graphic Press.

Flexner, Eleanor, Ellen Fitzpatrick. Century of Struggle: The Woman’s Rights Movement in the United States. Cambridge, Mass. and London, England: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press (enlarged edition), 1959, 1975, 1996. Flexner’s work is one of the relatively few studies of the entire sweep of the woman suffrage movement in America. Flexner’s mother, Anne Crawford Flexner, was a playwright and active in the suffrage movement of her time. Anne Flexner had marched in the New York suffrage parades, an event that the author vividly recalls. Flexner, a political activist in her own time, writes with a definite point of view about the woman suffrage movement. She cheers the suffs and disparages the antis. Still, she had done a serviceable job in putting the facts of the suffrage movement together.
