Public Faces, Secret Lives: A Queer History of the Women''s Suffrage Movement

English

By (author): Wendy L. Rouse

Honorable Mention for the 2023 Francis Richardson Keller-Sierra Prize
2023 Judy Grahn Award-Publishing Triangle Finalist
Restores queer suffragists to their rightful place in the history of the struggle for womens right to vote

The womens suffrage movement, much like many other civil rights movements, has an important and often unrecognized queer history. In Public Faces, Secret Lives Wendy L. Rouse reveals that, contrary to popular belief, the suffrage movement included a variety of individuals who represented a range of genders and sexualities. However, owing to the constant pressure to present a respectable public image, suffrage leaders publicly conformed to gendered views of ideal womanhood in order to make womens suffrage more palatable to the public.
Rouse argues that queer suffragists did take meaningful action to assert their identities and legacies by challenging traditional concepts of domesticity, family, space, and death in both subtly subversive and radically transformative ways. Queer suffragists also built lasting alliances and developed innovative strategies in order to protect their most intimate relationships, ones that were ultimately crucial to the success of the suffrage movement. Public Faces, Secret Lives is the first work to truly recenter queer figures in the womens suffrage movement, highlighting their immense contributions as well as their numerous sacrifices.
