"Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones offers the first comprehensive overview of women's influence on US foreign policy since the First World War ... It is an important contribution to international historical literature". -- The International History Review"Jeffreys-Jones is to be applauded for his pioneering efforts to bring together women's history and the history of foreign policy". -- The Journal of American History"The strength of Mr. Jeffreys-Jones's provocative history is that it is sufficiently expansive to be able to include figures as diverse as Margaret Chase Smith and Bella Abzug .... Rather than explaining the 'why' of women's foreign policy tradition, Changing Differences explores the 'what, ' and does so with considerable originality". -- The New York Times"Explores a subject that has been ignored too long -- the important role that women have played in shaping American foreign policy. Rhodri Jeffreys-Jones has opened the door to a subject that will draw considerably more attention in the future". -- Nancy Landon Kassebaum, former United States Senator, Kansas
