Description
"For nearly 150 years, American women did not have the right to vote. On August 18, 1920, they finally won that right, when the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified. Illuminating and empowering, Votes for Women! paints a vibrant picture of the women-- including Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, Alice Paul, and Ida B. Wells-- who organized, marched, went on hunger strikes, broke the law, and endured brutal conditions in jail over the decades-long fight to win the vote for women"--Jacket.
