Summary: Insight into what was "radical" then
Review: This is a good source for a look at radical protesting in the early part of the 20th century--the early days of picketing the White House, for instance. While it over-emphasizes the role these protests played in the eventual success of the U.S. woman suffrage movement on a national scale, it's important to have this portion of social movement history chronicled so completely. It is valuable to scholars of women's history, social movements, and radical politics/protests.
