From the Inside Flap
"A richly layered account women's emergence into public life, Women of Conscience traces portraits of a wide range of individual women including church ladies, prostitutes, progressive reformers, and traditional clubwomen. It complicates and compliments more generalized histories of the New Woman."--Anne Ruggles Gere, University of Michigan
