Ordering Winning the Vote

American suffragists waged an epic nonviolent struggle to win the right to vote for women from the mid-1800s to 1920 when the 19th Amendment was added to the U.S. Constitution. Winning the Vote tells their exciting story with the help of hundreds of historical photographs and illustrations as well as leaflets, newspapers, and posters that suffragists produced themselves. The detailed texts and rich visual displays bring the long struggle alive and emphasize the creativity and perseverance suffragists showed against all odds. Relive this pivotal time in American history and meet the courageous women and visionary men whose strategic movement changed the U.S. Constitution — and the entire nation.
This award-winning book features illustrated profiles of 78 suffragists, both women and men, who were part of the long drive for equal rights. The opening three chapters, out of eighteen, cover efforts in the later 19th century, while the rest focus on the early 20th century. An epilogue follows suffragists into government and other influential areas after 1920. This impressive clothbound First Edition features heavy coated paper, a durable sewn-and-glued binding, high-quality reproductions, and a gold silk bookmark that together make it a distinguished and lasting addition to any library. Our Special Offer of $30 each on orders of four or more copies encourages wider readership through gifts and donations to schools and libraries.
