The story of the suffragettes and how American women finally got the vote - including women we never hear about in history books, and schisms in the movement. Perhaps the most moving thing for me was the foreword and the intro, talking about how this book is about the things that never made it into the history books. It also came on the coat-tails of an 8th grade Social Studies teacher telling me of an earnest 8th grade (white) girl who said that she was sure the founding fathers did mean for all men were created equal to include women and blacks, etc. (Seriously girl???) Anyway, lots of information about Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott and how they were followed by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns to get women the right to vote. Additional information about women not often heard of such as Matilda Joslyn Gage, the Grimke sisters, Amelia Bloomer, Carrie Chapman Catt, etc. Also a shout-out to Frederick Douglass and Sojourner Truth for their work. Interesting and important. I did not like how the text boxes for the notes about other people interrupted the story line but not sure where you would otherwise put them.
