I've only read the introduction, in which Holt seems to cordon off all sorts of issues, including gender issues – which seems a bit bizarre for a book that covers the period of the Seneca Falls convention.  Any recommendations for a book that discusses the relationship between the whig party and gender issues (such as married women's property, suffrage, moral reform, etc.)?

Any one with a year on their time should read Holt, THE RISE AND FALL OF THE AMERICAN WHIG PARTY.  Alas, the 1000 page book does not really have a good summary 3-4 pages.

       I had originally asked the question about Whigs several months (maybe even a year) ago. At that time, some members of the List--I've sadly forgotten which ones--contacted me off-list asking me to share the results of my query with them. Keith Whittington's recent post is the most substantial response (I hope this doesn't slight anyone else; if so, my apologies) I've received. I want to thank Keith on my own behalf as well as those other list members seeking similar illumination.  Thanks Keith.
