""No doubt you sometimes think of us as a little band of willful women, the most unruly and individualistic females you ever fell among," wrote the members of Heterodoxy to its founder and moving spirit, Marie Jenney Howe, in 1920.

In this first published study of Heterodoxy, historian Judith Schwarz reclaims a too-long neglected part of U.S. women's history, one that can be particulalry significant to contemporary feminists. Heterodoxy can be read as the history of a remarkable club comprising over 100 of the most creative, often politically active women of the twentieth century: Charltote Perkins Gilman, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Mabel Dodge Luhan, Rose Pastor Stokes, and Agnes DeMille, among others. It is also an important account of the spirited challenge and support that women committed to women can provide for each other." - Susanna Sturgis
