"In Strum's masterful hands, Whitney comes to life. Strum casts new light on the backstory behind Whitney v. California as well as on Whitney herself. This combination of biography, legal analysis, and comparative perspective makes Speaking Freely an excellent addition to the award winning Landmark Law Cases and American Society series. . . . The text is the rare manuscript that will provide a day of enjoyment for those who like legal history as beach reading and profitable hours for scholars and students doing research on a vital episode in U.S. constitutionalism."-Pacific Historical Review "Although all students of constitutional law are familiar with the case, Strum brings it to life in a way not previously seen. In addition to the constitutional law elements that make this case a landmark, the author brings in the political historical climate of the time and examines the lower court trial."-Choice "Strum's descriptive narrative outlines the particularities not only of Whitney's life but also f the political climate surrounding freedom of speech in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries"-Southeastern Law Librarian.
