I can't begin to tell how good this book is. It's the story of a young woman named Sarah who was totally devoted to the cause of Women's Suffrage. She almost lost her life due to brutal treatment during The Night of Terror (which I had never heard of, by the way). It was very interesting to read about the sacrifices made by brave women to have the right to vote. Highly Recommended!
