Product Overview
"Winning the Vote"shows how women have long been active participants in U.S. history, and how many became politically powerful before winning the vote. The book includes illustrated profiles of 78 American women and men, black and white, who led the drive for equal rights, and an unprecedented display of the symbolism, color, and imagery used by the increasingly sophisticated suffrage movement. The opening three chapters, out of eighteen, cover efforts for full democracy in the 19th century, and an Epilogue follows suffragists into government and other influential areas after 1920.
"While bits and pieces of women's history have been scattered and forgotten over time, Winning the Vote weaves stories from around the country into a rich and exciting new tapestry. Many of the stories and photos included have never before been made available to the general public."
