I missed reading this during the 19th amendment's centenary, but finishing it on an historic Inauguration Day seems fitting. Not only is this an interesting history of the fight for universal suffrage, it's also a look at the challenges of political action, the risks of pushing too hard or not hard enough and of being divided by the myth of the zero-sum game. The racist words of Anthony and Stanton are disappointing to read but unsurprising. ( ) VOTES FOR WOMEN by Winifred Conkling tells the true story of the suffrage movement in America. This well-researched, fast-paced nonfiction narrative explores the women that fought for their right to vote. This engaging story explores the successes and failures along with well-known and lesser-known events. The Preface begins with the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, but the rest of the book transports readers back in time exploring the key people and events that lead to that final vote. The book concludes with key primary source documents, a timeline, bibliography, notes, and an index. Librarians will find this comprehensive account to be a welcome addition to the nonfiction collection for middle and high school students. The author’s use of primary sources throughout the book make it an excellent choice for evidence-based inquiries. The author’s engaging, conversational style will draw readers who enjoy narrative nonfiction for leisure reading. Published by Algonquin Young Readers, an imprint of Workman on January 17, 2018.

On August 18, 1920, they won that right, when the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified at last. To achieve that victory, some of the fiercest, most passionate women in history marched, protested, and sometimes even broke the law??for more than eight decades. From Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who founded the suffrage movement at the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention, to Sojourner Truth and her famous ??Ain??t I a Woman?? speech, to Alice Paul, arrested and force-fed in prison, this is the story of the American women??s suffrage movement and the private lives that fueled its leaders?? dedication. Votes for Women! explores suffragists?? often powerful, sometimes difficult relationship with the intersecting temperance and abolition campaigns, and includes an unflinching look at some of the uglier moments in women??s fight for the vote. By turns illuminating, harrowing, and empowering, Votes for Women! paints a vibrant picture of the women whose tireless battle still inspires political, human rig Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
