Angels in the Machinery offers a sweeping analysis of the centrality of gender to US politics from the days of the Whigs to the early twentieth century. Edwards shows that women in the USA participated actively and influentially in the party system decades before they won the right to vote, and in the process managed to transform forever the ideology of American party politics.
