The online research website Questia declares concerning Ernestine Rose:
Despite her importance, Rose is perhaps the most forgotten of the women's rights activists; today virtually no one knows her name. She is, to use Virginia Woolf's words, "a stranded ghost." Her disappearance from history is telling: not only was she scorned by newspaper editors and Southern ministers, but she also was isolated from and sometimes ignored by the very women and men with whom she shared reform platforms. Rose was an "other" in a movement of others--an outsider in a group of women who banded together against oppression. She looked and sounded different from the other women: she spoke with a foreign accent; she was outspoken; she was ironic.<ref>[https://www.questia.com/magazine/1G1-87707972/ernestine-l-rose-freethinking-rebel-great-minds Ernestine L.
