Books by Kathryn Kish Sklar

Not only a biography of Florence Kelley, a leading reformer in the Progressive Era, this book also serves as a political history of the USA during a period of change when women worked to end the abuses of unregulated industrial capitalism.

"A thoughtful, ingenious, speculative book, a pleasure to read and to reread. No one interested in the history of women and the family, and in Victorian civilization as a whole, can afford to miss it." -Journal of American History
