About the book:
Woodrow Wilson: The Light Withdrawn reassesses the life and role of Woodrow Wilson in the long national struggle for racial equality and women’s voting rights.

Wilson emerges as a man superbly unsuited to the moment when, as his presidency began in 1912, the struggle for women’s voting rights in America was reaching the tipping point.
Wilson was the first Southern Democrat to occupy the White House since the Civil War era. Wilson brought to Washington like-minded men who quickly set to work segregating the federal government. His sympathy for Jim Crow and states’ rights animated his years-long hostility to the Susan B. Anthony Amendment, which promised universal suffrage backed by federal enforcement.

The heroes responsible for the eventual success of the unadulterated Anthony Amendment are brought to life by Christopher Cox, an author steeped in the ways of Washington. This is a brilliant, carefully researched work that puts you at the center of one of the greatest advances in the history of American democracy.
