The momentous, gripping story of women's fight for the right to vote in America. Replete with political intrigues and betrayals, pageantry and parades, pickets, violent mobs, and police brutality, The Vote interweaves ideas--the reordering of women's roles and rights--with contested issues involving race, class, tactics, and politics. Infused with women's words and vivid personalities, The Vote is relevant to current issues including voting rights and women's participation and equity in the governance of America.
