Historia
Alice Paul has long been an elusive figure in the political history of American women. Raised by Quaker parents in Moorestown, New Jersey, she would become a passionate and outspoken leader of the woman suffrage movement. In 1913 she reinvigorated the American campaign for a constitutional suffrage amendment and, in the next seven years, dominated that campaign and drove it to victory with bold, controversial action - wedding courage with resourcefulness and self-mastery.

Excellent for one flagrant mistake
Revisado: 11-13-23
As this author herself, and most every other expert on the subject that is Ms. Paul, she was almost to a fault, an extremely private woman. It is stated throughout this and other .gov cited material on her Quaker roots being a fundamental element of this virtue.
But throughout the narrative there seems to be an insistence on the author to insinuate homosexuality into situations where there is no fact of evidence. Doing my own research, I have not read anything that expanded on this in any way, unless it was research on the question of her sexuality was the actual point - which is worth any discussion for those looking for people to examine one individual leading two lives as one would’ve had to do in the time. Absolutely! And this would be welcome if there were facts and not insinuations. I’m not sure if the author was trying to dip a toe into this discussion without taking responsibility for it, or if she was simply trying to gain an audience for those searching for leaders in a quiet movement underlying their outward presence. But I DO KNOW one thing - Ms. Paul would literally be A.Paul(ed) by these constant thirst traps. If anything - she barely wanted to talk about the work she’s most famous and beloved and honored for. To have such a private space of her life be so intruded upon is disappointing. We all deserve respect and privacy. I felt this to be annoying at the very least and then fiercely protective of her and saddened by these insensitive comments at times as well. Meet people where they are. Means where THEY are. Not where YOU demand them to be. Stopping here before I forget to say that other than this blatant overstepping-the book is very good. As is the author’s audible version as it’s narrator.

MM shows a lot of compassion in his insight and brings attention to things in life I think we each forget to consider. I really enjoyed this book and actually read it twice because I could debate him on a few topics just to get his thoughts. Just a great first - hopefully not last accomplish from him.
