I    t amazes me to think of how my high school history curriculum included zero mention of the suffragists except to mention the movement’s name and to ask on the final exam what year women got the vote, as if the year really meant anything without the context of the century of struggle that preceded.

Your book fills in so many gaps - I especially appreciated reading about the friction between the suffragists and those working to get the vote for blacks, which I only slightly knew about - how very intertwined they were, and uncomfortably so.

2 019-2020 has seen the publication of many fine books on the suffrage movement. None of them, however has the punch and pizazz of the artwork of We Demand the Right to Vote. Not only are Meneese Wall’s images stunningly unique but the text is accurate and informative. This is a must-buy book—one for yourself and another for a best friend.
