Votes for Women!: American Suffragists and the Battle for the Ballot

This account traces the long United States campaign for women’s suffrage, starting in 1848 and ending with the 1920 ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. It follows an almost eighty-year struggle in which women marched, protested, and at times broke the law while seeking the vote. Archival photographs accompany the history of the movement and its fight for equal rights.
