Gentle Warriors tells the moving story of the final phase of the Minnesota women's struggle for the vote under the leadership of the remarkable Clara Ueland. It shows hard-working, energetic suffragists in action -- marching in the streets, organising women throughout the state, arguing over political strategies, and speaking out before the state legislature. Abhorring violence, these women felt compelled to carry out a 'war' of persuasion and pressure to achieve their goal of equal suffrage. Now, largely forgotten, America's second-generation suffragists are brought back to life on the pages of Gentle Warriors, where they take their rightful place in history.

Review
"This is an admirable book. Barbara Stuhler reminds us that lesser-known midwestern women were just as instrumental to the success of suffrage as were nationally know women such as Carrie Chapman Catt and Alice Paul." -- The Annals of Iowa
Gentle Warriors tells the moving story of the final phase of Minnesota women's struggle to win the vote under the leadership of the remarkable Clara Ueland. Through a depiction of Ueland's life and work, Barbara Stuhler shows us the state's hardworking and energetic suffragists marching in the streets, organizing women throughout Minnesota, arguing over strategies, and speaking out before the legislature. Abhorring violence, these women were compelled to carry out a non-violent campaign of persuasion and pressure to achieve their goal of equal suffrage. Gentle Warriors traces the vital connections between their local actions and the national campaign, providing a valuable capsule history of the equal-suffrage movement in the United States at large. Now largely forgotten, America's second-generation suffragists are brought back to life in Gentle Warriors, thus taking their rightful place in American political and cultural history. Gentle Warriors is a highly recommended addition to all women's studies, political science, and American history reading lists. -- Midwest Book Review
