Story4.5 out of 5 stars 69
In The Once and Future Sex, Janega unravels the restricting expectations on medieval women and the ones on women today. She boldly questions why, if our ideas of women have changed drastically over time, we cannot reimagine them now to create a more equitable future.

This book is a wonder addition to Womens history on topics that we do not often discuss. I can only complain that it is too short.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 19
Originally published in 2000, The Right to Vote was widely hailed as a magisterial account of the evolution of suffrage from the American Revolution to the end of the 20th century. In this revised and updated edition, Keyssar carries the story forward, from the disputed presidential contest of 2000 through the 2008 campaign and the election of Barack Obama. The Right to Vote is a sweeping reinterpretation of American political history as well as a meditation on the meaning of democracy in contemporary American life.

A “Must Read” for Serious Readers of Politics
Reviewed: 04-12-22
The author is successful in offering a wide view of historical political strategies surrounding the Vote, as political parties have sought to influence the outcomes of American elections. In the last chapter, the book presents the reader with a glimmer of hope for the future of democracy that we don’t often see in the news.
