Challenging traditional gender boundaries throughout her life, she put herself through college, worked as an ordained minister and a doctor, and built a tightly-knit family with her secretary and longtime companion Lucy E. Anthony.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawing on unprecedented research, Franzen shows how these circumstances and choices both impacted Shaw's role in the woman suffrage movement and set her apart from her native-born, middle- and upper-class colleagues. Franzen also rehabilitates Shaw's years as president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, arguing that Shaw's much-belittled tenure actually marked a renaissance of both NAWSA and the suffrage movement as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnna Howard Shaw: The Work of Woman Suffrage\u003c\/i\u003e presents a clear and compelling portrait of a woman whose significance has too long been misinterpreted and misunderstood. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47120240902384,"sku":"9780252095412","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780252095412_p0.jpg?v=1763680962","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780252095412","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
