Jill Richards's book is masterful in its range of inquiries, beautifully written, and elegantly argued. The research supporting the book's radical and provocative arguments is also exceptionally thorough and meticulously engaged; it synthesizes and builds upon a number of comprehensive historical and theoretical debates. -- Elizabeth S. Anker, Cornell University Jill Richards's exploration of the daily life of feminist action brilliantly trains our attention on aspects of revolutionary work-routines and tactics, protocols and cycles-too often obscured in later histories. Traversing disciplines, genres, and oceans in unprecedented ways, it requires us to reconsider many of our most cherished assumptions about the relation between avant-garde art and political aspiration. -- Douglas Mao, author of <i>Fateful Beauty: Aesthetic Environments, Juvenile Development, and Literature 1860-1960</i> The Fury Archives is a tour-de-force study of modernist women's struggles for citizenship and human rights across transnational geographies. Richards reminds us of the variegated sites and everydayness of politics-from the sphere of reproductive labor to the quotidian committee meeting-and offers a compelling genealogy of the intersections between women's rights and human rights. It is one of the most nuanced accounts of politics as praxis I have ever read. -- Janice Ho, author of <i>Nation and Citizenship in the Twentieth-Century British Novel</i>
