A traditional nonfiction text providing background to the women's suffrage movement including protests, important individuals and the movement's legacy. The text is broken up into chapters that are quick read. May be useful for some classroom learning in 7th grade social studies on the suffrage movement. While the interest level states grades 3-9, I think it is more of a fit for middle school.

Great book! This book is an absolutely perfect introduction to the history of Women's Suffrage in the US. The rich yet simple information included throughout the book will no doubt set readers up for the history lessons that they will inevitably face in their futures. Another great thing about this book was that it was organized so well! It wasn't in perfect chronological order throughout, but I think that that was a good choice to make, as it gave the book a fresher feel. The occasional "story spotlight" was also an awesome addition and it added a nice amount of detail to the book by digging into the histories of various key players of the time. Lastly, all of the images fit perfectly with the writing, and the graphic design of this book was flawless. Bravo!

A quick read that is full of interesting photographs and facts. The formatting isn't especially appealing, but it gets the job done and would make a good introduction to the topic, especially for below level or young readers.

Thank you for the ARC.

This was a quick, easy and informative read aimed at children to give them an understanding of the woman suffrage movement. I think that it is written perfectly for the age group and I don't think that it gave too little or too much. A great read

This is another great nonfiction book that includes a glossary, timeline, and comprehension questions. It would be a beneficial supplement to a social studies unit or a resource for homeschool parents. I appreciated that the book discussed how women's rights and rights for Black women were entwined, but many Black women were shut out from voting, and even from activism by racist White suffrage activists.

Additionally there was a footnote about Indigenous and immigrant people, but I would love to see a follow up series about voting and citizenship for all marginalized groups.

I recommend this book for schools and libraries.
