Zusammenfassung:"August 2020 marked the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the amendment that recognized women's right to vote by prohibiting voter discrimination by gender. The articles and illustrations in A Vote for Women remind us that the story of woman suffrage in the United States was both long-fought and complex. The movement evolved, reshaping American society and politics as women demanded equality. Women of every age, class, race, ethnicity, sexual preference, and marital status engaged with the crusade. In the 21st century, female voices are being heard like never before as women acquire greater influence and power. Many look to the suffragists as role models, individuals willing to sacrifice and persevere on behalf of justice, democracy, and equality, and these are the values A Vote for Women celebrates" -- from back cover
