I am truly excited to share this interview with the incredible author and historian Susan Ware. I thoroughly enjoyed our discussion about feminism, women’s suffrage, and the 19th amendment. This may sound like a history lesson, but I promise you will enjoy this conversation as much as I did. I felt I could listen to Susan speak all day and I am honored that she agreed to be a guest on this show.

Susan Ware is the author and editor of numerous books on twentieth-century U.S. history. She is a pioneer in the field of women’s history and a leading feminist biographer.

Her book, Why They Marched: Untold Stories of the Women Who Fought for the Right to Vote, is an insightful look at the suffrage movement through the lives of some remarkable women.

Educated at Wellesley College and Harvard University, she has taught at New York University and Harvard. Here she served as editor of the biographical dictionary Notable American Women: Completing the Twentieth Century (2004).

Since 2012, she has served as the general editor of the American National Biography, published by Oxford University Press under the auspices of the American Council of Learned Societies.

With plaques on the trees behind her New Hampshire home, historian Susan Ware crafted what she calls a “suffrage forest” including African-American women, women from the west and working-class women.
