Emily Prifogle at [http://legalhistoryblog.blogspot.com/ Legal History Blog ] has a posted an outstanding booklist on the History of Women's Citizenship. A number of these books (especially the books written by Barbara Young Welke, Lizabeth Cohen, and Margot Canaday) are also favorites of DailyHistory.org and will undoubtably appear on some of our own future Top Ten Booklists. Check this out as well as other posts by Prifogle at [http://legalhistoryblog.blogspot.com/ Legal History Blog. As per usual, if you disagree with any selection on this list, please leave a comment explaining why we (or in this case, Emily Prifogle) are wrong. Suggest a new book and tell us which book should be removed from the list. If you make a strong case and convince us, we will happily revise it].
