Roses and Radicals: The Epic Story of How American Women Won the Right to Vote by Todd Hasak-Lowy, Susan Zimet
4.0
An excellent young adult look at the women's suffrage movement in the US. I especially appreciate that Zimet repeatedly grapples with the racism in the movement and its roots in abolitionism. Her attention to the different tactics used to further the cause also make this a great pick for budding activists of any stripe.
Cassandra Campbell is incredible, of course, and her performance infuses so much tension and emotion into the narrative that I cried when Tennessee ratified the 19th Amendment, giving the suffragettes the number of states they needed to make the bill into law.
