A first-hand account of the 1913-1919 campaign of American suffragettes, detailing their treatment at the hands of the courts, and the true conditions of their incarceration. (Summary by Sarah Jennings)

In this engaging scholarly work, historian Wilhelm Ihne explores the fascinating early history of Rome, tracing its journey from legendary founders and kings to the establishment of the Republic and the dramatic invasion by the Gauls in 390 B.C. Ihne poignantly states, No great state known to history can be traced to such a small beginning as Rome. This book illustrates how Romes political institutions evolved through class conflict and compromise, ultimately shaping a state that, despite its modest beginnings, was destined to dominate the world.
