Essential Novelists - Alice Duer Miller: Are women people?

Are Women People? A Book of Rhymes for Suffrage Times is Alice Duer Miller's landmark collection of satirical poetry and prose, originally serialized in the New York Tribune, that skewered anti-suffragist arguments with wit, rhyme, and pointed irony. This Essential Novelists edition, curated by August Nemo, brings Miller's five-section collection to modern readers in Kindle format, preserving a work the New York Times recognized on its list of important new books upon the collection's original publication.
