This book compares British, French, and American legislative debates on woman suffrage and women's rights. Beginning with an analysis of Tocqueville and J.S. Mill on the impact of suffrage, the book continues with analysis of floor debates, comparing gender style, the French on parity and the Americans on the ERA and concluding with modern debates.

She is the editor of Women in Revolutionary Paris, 1789-1795 (1981) with Darline Gay Levy and Mary Durham Johnson, and Women in the Age of the Democratic Revolution (1993), with Darline Gay Levy.
