""What I like most is that the book brings to light an unknown champion of a political movement, adding important insight and perspective to our sense of the political awareness and independence of thought of nineteenth-century women. Gibbons' story gives greater texture to the variety of women's lives, experiences, beliefs, and political behavior."" - Emma Jones Lapsansky, Professor of History and Curator of Quaker Collection, Haverford College
