For this volume, I wrote about the deep roots of Midwestern feminism and the region’s centrality to women’s liberation. The whole book is great, and it’s coming your way early next year!.
The series is done! "The Conservative Heartland" will be joined on the @Kansas_Press list by "The Liberal Heartland" soon, just in time for post-election analysis. Congrats to @cmsto and @jlauck1941 FYI @DoleInstitute @CookPolitical @NPRMidwestNews @SmartPolitics #twitterstorians
