This book is an amazing first-person account of the fight for a constitutional amendment to give women the right to vote. It was so exciting, I felt my heart pounding while I was reading it. Seriously, I had no idea about the hunger strikes, the brutality of the police and the difficulties faced by suffragettes trying to get Woodrow Wilson to support them. While he was championing freedom in Europe during WWI, he was neglecting freedom for women at home. The issue was presented as a "states rights" concern, rather than a national one. Definitely worthwhile!
A note to e-book readers: you can find this book for free at many sites, but, as far as I could tell, only GoogleBooks had scanned the entire book and had the original photographs. There are a large number of typos, but it is readable. The version from Amazon (which is not free) has fewer typographical errors, but no photographs. ( )
