In Constitutional Orphan, Monopoli weaves how race, gender, and class in America during the early 20th century limited the scope of the Nineteenth Amendment to merely an amendment related to voting. This intersectionality makes this book a must-read for legal scholars interested in how race, gender, and class impact the American legal tradition. Monopoli's arguments are well reasoned and supported by authority. Her highly readable writing style retains an academic tone, with extensive footnotes to important primary sources and a comprehensive index. * Nancy B. Talley, Law Library Journal *
