Ever wonder what our foremothers were doing while our forefathers were making recorded history? And what did they do to claim their social and political power. We Demand the Right to Vote: The Journey to the 19th Amendment introduces readers to American women’s civil rights movement known as “Women’s Suffrage”—women’s 72-year struggle for social and political equality that culminated in their winning the right to vote via the 19th Amendment. With that right well in hand, women could change their worlds.
Written in a conversational, easy-to-read style, this historical account commences with Native American cultural influences and continues with women’s conventions, arrests, trials, petitions, battles won, and those lost to reveal society’s slow acceptance of women’s involvement outside of their socially prescribed realm. Throughout the book’s journey, enchanting artwork visually illustrates the various pivotal moments chronicled in each chapter.
We Demand the Right to Vote is an overview from the national perspective of this defining period in women’s history. It’s ideal for audiences of all ages—an enjoyable, beautiful, and rousing read worth further exploration.

It’s been a while since I did a Can’t-Wait Wednesday post but I really wanted to share this book with you all. Just take a look at the title, synopsis and cover. Doesn’t it look and sound amazing? If you know me just a little but you must know that it’s just my kind of book AND it’s illustrated! I’m super excited for it. ♥

  1. We Demand The Right To Vote does sound good! It really was a struggle for women to finally be able to vote, wasn’t it? I was reading another book recently in which it touches upon how Black women only got the right to vote in the U.S. in 1965. Although I remember learning about that years and years ago, it still gets to me every time. That was before my lifetime, but it was well into my mother’s, which just seems crazy wrong. It shouldn’t have taken that long. I hope you enjoy this book when you get to it! Stay safe and well.
