Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Beginning readers who want an overview of the history of the American woman suffrage movement
- Intermediate and advanced English learners seeking English nonfiction for reading practice
- Biography readers interested in nineteenth-century American social reformers
- Students preparing materials for courses on women's history or American history
Not a good fit for
- Readers who want a Chinese translation and are not accustomed to English originals
- Professional researchers expecting systematic scholarly inquiry and the latest historiography
- Casual readers who prefer novelistic narrative and strong plot momentum
Reading tips
- Read the table of contents and chapter titles first to grasp the main line of the subject's life, then read closely in sections by period.
- Jot down key figures and event years as you read to clarify the movement's development.
- Read alongside general histories of the American woman suffrage movement to offset the perspective of a single biography.
- For the English original, aim for one or two chapters a day; mark unfamiliar historical terms and look them up together afterward.

About the author
Alma Lutz was an American suffragist and biographer. Public information about her life is limited: her birth and death years, education, and specific experiences are not clearly recorded. What can be confirmed is that she entered writing as a participant in the women's suffrage movement and left behind one biographical work, Susan B. Anthony. The book takes Anthony, a central figure in the American women's suffrage movement, as its subject and belongs to a mode of writing that combines political biography with the history of the women's movement. Her choice of subject shows an interest in the history of women's struggle for the vote and public participation, and her writing tends to follow the subject's life as a thread, presenting the movement's progress and the historical context rather than abstract argument. The book also offers later readers studying the American women's suffrage movement a referable biographical text, its value lying mainly in the organization of historical material and the narration of a life.
