"A century ago the name Ernestine L. Rose was known to thousands in many parts of America. It was associated with such unpopular causes as Abolitionism and Women's Rights; the advocacy of free public education; the principles of Robert Owen's utopian socialism; the Free Thought movement. .... Like her friends and colleagues Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, Lucretia Mott, she was totally dedicated; her life was in her work.... But even her work has never been presented to the public in its fullest....This biography, the result of five years' work, is the first full-length account of her life." -- from the preface.
