of
The Scarlet Sisters: Sex, Suffrage, and Scandal in the Gilded Age:
"I found The Scarlet Sisters to be a highly interesting read. I do not recall ever having heard of the Claflin sisters prior to encountering this book, which I feel is rather a shame considering the ideas these two had. Victoria and Tennie were tru..."

of
The Scarlet Sisters: Sex, Suffrage, and Scandal in the Gilded Age:
"I really liked the subject matter of this book, the story of two sisters who crusaded for women's rights in the 1860s/1870s. As I had never heard of the two women, I found almost almost all of the information new and enlightening. But I wasn't wow..."

of
The Scarlet Sisters: Sex, Suffrage, and Scandal in the Gilded Age:
"A good overview of the lives of the famous, or infamous, Victoria Woodhull and Tennessee Claflin, free love advocates and among the first suffragists to not come from somewhat upper-level backgrounds.

“Marriage is the grave of love.”
― The Scarlet Sisters: Sex, Suffrage, and Scandal in the Gilded Age

“When facing one indignant male colleague after another who demanded how she could be both a member of Congress and a mother, she said, “Because I have a brain and a uterus and both work.”

― The Scarlet Sisters: Sex, Suffrage, and Scandal in the Gilded Age
“Henry Ward Beecher used the parade and the IWA’s eight-hour-day battle to hector the working poor from the pulpit. Fewer hours would tend “to make men feel that work is not a good thing… hard knocks, and a good many of them” were the only way to “carve out independent fortunes.” Beecher admitted that underpaid workers could not make enough in an eight-hour day to advance from their lowly state at their present pay, but he neglected to denounce the owners who paid them so poorly. Working longer hours was his Christian solution.”
