• On Wisconsin Women: Working for Their Rights from Settlement to Suffrage (History of American Thought and Culture)

        Wisconsin is known as the home of the Progressive party.  But, in the words of a suffragist as late as 1912, "the last thing a man becomes progressive about is the activities of his wife."    In On Wisconsin Women, Genevieve G.
