A surprising number of nationally recognized suffragist leaders spent summers in seaside Scituate, Massachusetts. This book creates a revealing portrait of their lives in what was arguably the nation's summer suffragist capital, using original research and previously unpublished records. It also offers a highly readable account of their personal and activist lives in Boston, New York, Washington, and elsewhere, fighting for women's right to vote. It is both local and national history, still relevant to our times, when the right to vote and the right to protest are under assault.

Lyle Nyberg graduated from Dartmouth College and Boston University School of Law. Like Will Irwin (featured in the book), he met and married a summer resident of Scituate, and came to love the town, and to write of the town's history. Lyle retired to Scituate after a career as a corporate lawyer. He is an independent scholar and historian. He is a member of the Scituate Historical Society and the Massachusetts Historical Society. Lyle has spent years researching, writing, and speaking about the history of Scituate. He has documented more than 50 historic buildings, published in the state's online MACRIS database. His work includes sites in Boston that were nationally important for women's suffrage. In January 2020, he was a panelist for a League of Women Voters program on women's suffrage.
