Consistent Democracy offers an intellectual history of democracy and the so-called woman question from the 1830s through the 1890s. It shows that in asking and answering questions about women's roles, responsibilities, and rights, Americans grappled with fundamental ideas about democracy.

Offering the intellectual history of American liberalism during the second half of the nineteenth century, this title examines a group of internationally oriented writers who sustained an American tradition of self-consciously progressive and cosmopolitan reform. It addresses how these men established a critical perspective on American racism.
