Recovering women's lives wasn't enough. Feminist biographers pioneered an interpretive and narrative strategy that focused on gender as a primary influence on women's lives alongside a commitment to exploring those lives through the powerful lens of modern feminism. Until there are no significant differences between men's and women's experiences, telling women's lives will call for a different kind of biography. Feminist biography offers that fresh perspective to the larger biographical enterprise. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this work, acclaimed women's historian Susan Ware lays out the themes and contributions of feminist biography interwoven with profiles of exemplary twentieth-century figures, including Alice Paul, Pauli Murray, and Carolyn Heilbrun. Ware finds feminist biography in unusual places, such as an opera libretto, a family history, and an oral history collaboration, and shows how the approach illuminates the lives of LGBTQ+ subjects and women who do not identify as feminists. Throughout she weaves her own journey as a feminist biographer into the stories she tells \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eOffering models for living in the present and inspiration for a more equitable future, \u003cem\u003eSpeaking Louder Than I Can\u003c\/em\u003e is a masterful example of feminist biography's central insights â that women's lives matter and that gender is essential for understanding them â and argues forcefully for its continued relevance.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA pioneer in the field of women's history and a leading feminist biographer, \u003cstrong\u003eSusan Ware\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of numerous books on twentieth-century U.S. history, including \u003cem\u003eAmerican Women's History: A Very Short Introduction\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP, 2015) and \u003cem\u003eWhy They Marched: Untold Stories of the Women Who Fought for the Right to Vote.\u003c\/em\u003e She has also served as the editor of the biographical dictionary \u003cem\u003eNotable American Women: Completing the Twentieth Century\u003c\/em\u003e and as the general editor of \u003cem\u003eAmerican National Biography\u003c\/em\u003e published by Oxford University Press.
