An interesting read that I'm glad to have discovered. I'll definitely be seeking out more by this author.

A timely novel that facilitates critical thinking about the law and power structures, about gender and race. This novel explores the societal ideas of a woman's place, marriage, and politics from the nineteenth century. And more specifically, how society treats those who fight against these norms. A woman's presidential campaign before women have the right to vote is certainly courageous, but the sacrifices to fight for what they believe is a striking example of what resistance can look like, and how long these issues have been fought over.

There are a lot of characters, and would highly recommend reading the dramatis personae at the beginning. I still sometimes found it difficult to follow, as the narrative felt choppy while moving between different perspectives. Not a book I would normally read, but I appreciated the historical moments and stories of these women being brought to light.

I found this novel very disjointed and confusing. While I enjoyed learning about the sisters it was difficult to figure out who was narrating. I did not enjoy the book at all.
