520    "Spanning a historical period that begins with women's 
       exclusion from university debates and continues through 
       their participation in coeducational intercollegiate 
       competitions, Debating Women highlights the crucial role 
       that debating organizations played as women sought to 
       access the fruits of higher education in the United States
       and United Kingdom. Despite various obstacles, women 
       transformed forests, parlors, dining rooms, ocean liners, 
       classrooms, auditoriums, and prisons into vibrant spaces 
       for ritual argument. There, they not only learned to speak
       eloquently and argue persuasively but also used debate to 
       establish a legacy, explore difference, engage in 
       intercultural encounter, and articulate themselves as 
       citizens. These debaters engaged with the issues of the 
       day, often performing, questioning, and occasionally 
       refining norms of gender, race, class, and nation. In 
       tracing their involvement in an activity at the heart of 
       civic culture, Woods demonstrates that debating women have
       much to teach us about the ongoing potential for debate to
       move arguments, ideas, and people to new spaces"--
