One Woman One Vote: Rediscovering the Woman Suffrage Movement is different in soe ways from other books on the U.S. woman suffrage movement, new or old, in that it is more comprehensive. Many of the newer books assume knowledge of the "standard" suffrage narrative and its major leaders, and focus on specific people who have been overlooked, including women of color and women from outside the Northeastern U.S. This new edition adds a vast amount of information based on new research and new scholarship by others.

One Woman One Book offers both: it offers a series of essays by leading scholars who, together, tell the story of the suffrage movement from many perspectives and concerns: from why women did not gain the vote as the United States was founded to the impact of the Nineteenth Amendment to what happened after women got the vote. It includes essays on African American women in the suffrage movement, the suffrage movement in the West, and the global sisterhood of the international struggle for woman suffrage and equal rights.

This expanded Second Edition features new essays by experts on the woman suffrage movement in the South (discussing how white supremacy impeded the success of the movement in the region) and on the international context of the U.S. woman suffrage movement. In addition, I have authored or edited many books on woman suffrage, and I have also published on the rise of the modern feminist and anti-feminist movements. In 2017, Bloomsbury Publishing released my book, Divided We Stand: The Battle Over WOmen's Rights and Family Values That Polarized American Politics.

In a new final chapter of One Woman, One Vote, "A Century of Woman Suffrage," I bring the suffrage story from 1920 all the way through the 2020 election. I explain why women's initial turnout in the 1920s was low; how women of color finally gained full voting rights through the Voting Rights Act of 1965; how women in U.S. territories gained the vote; how the civil rights movement and the modern women's movement led to vast increases in women's turnout at the polls; how current trends in women's political participation evolved; and how Americans observed the Suffrage Centennial in the midst of a worldwide pandemic and a historic presidential election in which the first woman and woman of color was elected as Vice President of the United States.

We have also added some great historic photographs, illustrations, and appendices.
