Opis

Explores the contributions of a small group of Irish American women in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era who emerged as leaders, organisers, and activists. Profiles of these women suggest not only that Irish American women had a political tradition of their own but also that the diversity of the Irish American community fostered a range of priorities and approaches to activism.
