"At last! We have a fine history of the women’s suffrage movement in New York State. Women Will Vote will make you think about how democracy really works. Read it!"
Melanie Gustafson, author of Women and the Republican Party:
"This fascinating narrative of the struggle to expand women’s rights in New York is a timely reminder about the crucial role grassroots activism has played in changing national politics. Women Will Vote is an important and splendid book."
Marcela Micucci:
"Goodier and Pastorello’s key intervention is their ability to connect suffrage activism in New York City to community efforts across the state, demonstrating that suffrage activism was not exclusive to the city. By placing New York State at the center of their work, Goodier and Pastorello are able to flesh out the movement’s nuance, widening their scope to encompass a breadth of suffrage activists and organizations, like the Jamestown Political Equality Club (1887), one of the many political coalitions for women in upstate New York."
Jean H. Baker, Bennett-Harwood Professor of History, Goucher College, author of Sisters: The Lives of America's Suffragists:
"Susan Goodier and Karen Pastorello's Women Will Vote is a well-researched, well-conceived, and well-written study of the long struggle in New York State for women's right to vote. New York has long been acknowledged as having special historical significance to the suffrage movement. But no one has studied its evolution. Now this excellent book, full of new information, fills in the gaps and extends our understanding of women suffrage."
Devin Lander, New York State Historian:
"Susan Goodier and Karen Pastorello’s new book is a timely and deeply moving history of the several-decade-long struggle women and their male allies undertook in New York State to win the right to vote. Goodier and Pastorello utilize a cornucopia of primary source material to shed light on a chapter of New York’s history that is vital in understanding the national story of women’s suffrage. And, in doing so, Goodier and Pastorello elevate the personal stories of the New York women and their allies whose heroic efforts were finally realized in 1917. An important and compelling piece of scholarship."
"(Starred Review) In 1917, a referendum granting women in New York State full suffrage finally passed, an accomplishment activists had been working toward since the mid-19th century. Goodier (history, State Univ. of New York, Oneonta; No Vote for Women) and Pastorello (history, Tompkins Cortland Community Coll.; The Progressives) explore the people and events that made this milestone possible. The authors primarily focus on the many who contributed to the cause of suffrage, including well-known figures such as Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton while also introducing readers to Max Eastman, Carrie Chapman Catt, and other equally important but lesser-known suffragists.... Goodier and Pastorello offer a thorough perspective of the long struggle for voting equality in New York—and the first step toward equal rights. VERDICT Highly recommended to those interested in women's history as well as the history of New York State. The work is particularly timely with the centennial of the successful referendum in November 2017."
Laura Free, author of Suffrage Reconstructed:
"Women Will Vote is an important book that fills in a glaring absence in the literature, ensuring that students and scholars today will have a really strong sense of New York's suffrage experience."
