The author recalls the 120-year period between the 1840s and 1920 that saw remarkable victories for women's rights, focusing on Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Frances Willard, and Alice Paul as the revolutionaries who made these changes possible.

"A lucid account that humanizes historical figures hitherto rolled up into a single image."

Kirkus, 07/15/2005

"There's always been a need for someone to write a smart and sophisticated book about important American women--a METAPHYSICAL CLUB that chronicles the birth of the feminist movement. SISTERS, Jean H. Baker's spirited portrait of early American suffragists, appears to be that book and then some. [I]t retells the story of the fight for suffrage with an urgency that would make you think the vote is still on the line today."

John Freeman, Newsday (Long Island, N.Y.), `09/18/2005
