"This wonderful book contextualizes Anthony's trial within the broader battle for female franchise. It begins before the Civil War with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and others in 1848 at Seneca Falls, New York, organizing for women's rights. Hull discusses the personalities involved in the female franchise and how it was connected to the temperance movement, abolition, and the battle over the Fifteenth Amendment granting former slaves the right to vote. . . . While the trial is described here as a sham, it was significant in the eventual success in securing a right to vote. Excellent for collections on women's, New York, and American history and law. Highly recommended."--Choice
"Hull brings to life the cast of characters, from the befuddled male poll workers to the imperious Supreme Court Justice Ward Hunt (who presided at the trial) to the passionate and committed Anthony. . . . [The book] takes an episode often dismissed as a footnote in the larger history of the women's suffrage movement and places it center stage. . . . It will have broad appeal to readers who are interested in the intersection of women, suffrage, and the law in the late nineteenth-century United States."--Kansas History
"A truly refreshing, invigorating, and spirited story! Hull's close legal study of the charges against Anthony breaks new ground and significantly enlarges our understanding of her trial, its degeneration into a theater of the absurd, and its setback for U.S. women's rights and recognition as citizens. A must read for students of women's history and law alike."--Kathleen Barry, author of Susan B. Anthony: A Biography of a Singular Feminist
"Anthony's trial comes to life in this readable and absorbing account. Hull provides not just new information, but context and setting as well. . . . A significant contribution."--Jean H. Baker, author of Sisters: The Lives of America's Suffragists
