I found this an amazing read. I didn't know much about the historical period or political issues in question, but the book made them accessible and exciting. The recording is done by a number of different readers, and it's very uneven. Some chapters get clear, listenable, expressive readings; others have too much noise or are read without much expression.
Terrible missogyny.

These suffragesttes are problematic. Sure, they fought for womxn's right to vote. However, in the process, they marginalized the plight of transgendered nonbinary Latino Americans. Even the idea of voting requires a western imperialistic world view that ignores the plight of nonvoting and inanimate tribal affiliations. These people need to be drawn and quartered like the NAZIs they are. To heap further injury on the situation, the text keeps using the pejorative and subjectative term 'women'. The proper term is Womxn. Susan B Anthony is literally a monster
