Roses and Radicals: The Epic Story of How American Women Won the Right to Vote

A chronological account follows the long, difficult campaign for women’s voting rights in the United States. It covers the suffragists’ struggles and the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, which passed by a one-vote margin. Portraits, period cartoons, and other images accompany the history, while sections on terminology, biographies, and contemporary viewpoints add context. Source notes and a bibliography document the book’s exploration of women who fought for suffrage.
