Review: Who's Rocking The Cradle? Women Pioneers of Oklahoma Politics from Socialism to the KKK, 1900-1930 is a close examination of women's trailblazing invovlement in the Oklahoma political scene. Studying women who worked for diametic extremes of right and left, as well as those who took a more middle-of-the-road approach, the changes that suffrage brought, and featuring special focus on Congresswoman Alice Robertson of Oklahoma, Who's Rocking The Cradle? is a superbly researched, in-depth assemblage of information on women's role in everything from the socialist party to the Women's Christian Temperance Union in Indian Territory to the KKK. A profoundly welcome and much-needed contribution to Oklahoma state history and reference shelves.
