I appreciate Jennifer Chiaverini novels because she makes history come alive by weaving facts into fiction with excellent writing. As an elections coordinator, I'm passionate about citizens exercising their right to vote and am interested in the history of voting rights and the voting process.
This novel shares the story of three important women in US suffrage history, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Maud Malone, and Alice Paul, and their role in the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession that was held in Washington DC one day before President Woodrow Wilson's inauguration. Each woman had a unique role in the US women's suffrage movement, and it was fascinating to learn their life stories and their incredible dedication to this important cause that impacts the lives of countless women in the past, today, and in the future. This book was highly readable and completely engrossing.
Every American woman should read this novel to appreciate the history that led to the right to vote for us. Thank you to William Morrow for the review copy; all thoughts are my own.
