About This Book

Celebrating the centenary of women legislators' membership in the Arkansas General Assembly, Stateswomen shines a light on the women who have served as some of the state's central decision makers. Drawing on documentary research and oral histories, Lindsley Armstrong Smith and Stephen A. Smith present lively, concise biographies for the nearly 150 women legislators who have served in the general assembly to date, chronicling their personal histories, volunteer work and social activism, and legislative victories. In a probing introduction, the authors examine the neglected role of women in Arkansas political history alongside the "long history of resistance to full citizenship rights for women in Arkansas"—demonstrating that political representation is essential for improving opportunities in the wider society.The first comprehensive study dedicated to these trailblazing Arkansas legislators, Stateswomen will surely inspire history buffs, community-minded citizens, and political hopefuls alike.
