Reviews for Suspect Citizens: Women, Virtue, and Vice in Backlash Politics
"Boryczka addresses categories of virtue and vice that operate to render women 'suspect citizens' in the American political script... The book contains many interesting and provocative juxtapositions. Summing Up: Highly recommended."
Choice, May 2013 "Suspect Citizens is a rich conceptual history tracing the binary opposition between virtue and vice that has structured the gendered nature of citizenship in American political thought... The book successfully weaves together contemporary political issues with their deep and direct roots in historical political ideas and debates."
New Political Science, Vol. 35, Issue 2 "Throughout her analysis the author succeeds in identifying the emergence of the virtue and vice concept, its relation to other theoretical concepts and political arguments, and how the concept is used by political actors to achieve their political goals. This book is necessary reading for anyone interested in political and feminist theories." - Contemporary Sociology
