The oral histories of five rank-and-file suffragists are collected in The Suffragists: From Tea-Parties to Prison, conducted by Sherna Gluck, director of the Feminist History Research Project. These women spoke out for suffrage from horse-drawn wagons and streetcorner soapboxes. Some discussed politics in genteel tea parties, others were arrested for picketing for suffrage in front of the White House. These five interviews represent the diversity of ordinary women who made woman's suffrage a reality, documenting their motivations and ethical convictions, their family, social, and regional backgrounds, and their part in the campaign for women's right to vote.

Five rank and file participants in the suffrage movement, representing a range of personal backgrounds, ideologies, and tactical approaches, discuss early years of the movement and relationships among suffrage groups; the birth control movement; picketing, arrest, and jail; passage of the Nineteenth Amendment; dissolution of the National American Women's Suffrage Association and formation of the League of Women Voters; the National Woman's Party; and the Equal Rights Amendment.
