First edition, first printing, of this expansive feminist text. The author "established herself as an outstanding suffragist" (New York Times) in Chicago, lecturing and publishing articles in the Chicago Tribune and Harper's Bazaar. Surveying the history of women's rights activism, Squire implores readers to "continually impress upon the younger generations how hardly these rights have been won for us" (pp. 285-6). Squire was known for refusing to pay her taxes if she was not permitted to vote, on the principle that taxation without representation was unjust. She also insisted on the title "Mrs" despite being unmarried, arguing that if men could change their title without being married, so could women. She also campaigned for the rights of Black women, helping to establish the Alpha Suffrage Club with Ida B. Wells and giving a voice to those who had been excluded from national suffrage organizations because of their race. Squire's obituary, New York Times, 18 Apr. 1939. Octavo. Thirteen plates depicting significant women in the suffrage movement. Original green cloth, lettered and ruled in black on spine, blind-ruled and lettered in black on front cover. Spine and corners a touch bumped and rubbed, small marks to front cover, contents clean: a near-fine copy.…

Zustand: Near Fine. First edition. Original publisher's cloth binding stamped in black to spine and front board. A just nearly Fine copy on account of some wear to the cloth near the foot of spine. Internally an exceptionally bright, fresh copy. Contemporary gift inscription to the front endpaper reads: "With love for Annie Blitz from Frances J. P. Xmas - 1911." A beautiful example and the only first edition on the market of this scarce history the women's movement, written by Ida B. Well's collaborator and fellow co-founder of the Alpha Suffrage Club. Two years after the publication of this book, Belle Squire would join forces with the legendary journalist and activist Ida B. Wells to found the Alpha Suffrage Club in response to the racism of majority-white national women's rights groups dominating the movement. Squire, herself a white woman, would throughout her career use her privilege to amplify the voices of Black activists; the two would, indeed, walk side-by-side in the 1913 National Suffrage Demonstration in Washington, DC as part of the Illinois delegation, defying the organizers' demand that all Black activists march at the rear of the parade. "It only required that our women should be as firm in standing up for their principles as the Southern women are for their prejudices," a contemporary reporter remarked (McCullough). The present work reflects Squire's deep awareness of systemic misogyny and racism in the U.S. as well as her commitment to an intersectional activism that incorporates all Americans in the pursuit of equality. And The Woman Movement in America never shies from the complex entanglements and fractures that Black men, Black women, and women more generally experienced in their missions of overturning white male hegemony. Assessing the failures of the 14th Amendment, for example, and the rampant poll taxes and intimidation that continued preventing Black men's votes, she exclaims, "If freedom without the ballot was a mockery to the black man, what good was freedom without the ballot to black woman? Of what use is ballotless freedom to a woman born a blonde? What should be said of men who would reason thus.What an opportunity to have missed! They could have made it Humanity's Hour." A history from Wollstonecraft to her present moment, including the work of prominent queer women and people of color, and acknowledging that only when all people are enfranchised can there truly be liberty.
