Homer D. Babbidge Jr. Award
“Women before the Bar is the finest work on the legal history of women, of any period...Dayton succeeds so well that the result is not just first-rate legal history or women’s history, although it is both, but superb history”
--Bruce H. Mann
“This is a terrific book. Dayton has given us a new periodization of women’s history, one that focuses on the early eighteenth century rather than the revolutionary era, one that sees complex development, losses as well as gains in the decline of Puritanism. That is very important.”
--Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
