About this product

Product Information

"Lively and delightful...zooms in on the faces in the crowd to help us understand both the depth and the diversity of the women's suffrage movement. Some women went to jail. Others climbed mountains. Visual artists, dancers, and journalists all played a part...Far from perfect, they used their own abilities, defects, and opportunities to build a movement that still resonates today." --Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, author of Well-Behaved Women Seldom Make History "An intimate account of the unheralded activism that won women the right to vote, and an opportunity to celebrate a truly diverse cohort of first-wave feminist changemakers." -- Ms. "Demonstrates the steady advance of women's suffrage while also complicating the standard portrait of it." -- New Yorker The story of how American women won the right to vote is usually told through the lives of a few iconic leaders. But movements for social change are rarely so tidy or top-heavy. Why They Marched profiles nineteen women--some famous, many unknown--who worked tirelessly out of the spotlight protesting, petitioning, and insisting on their right to full citizenship. Ware shows how women who never thought they would participate in politics took actions that were risky, sometimes quirky, and often joyous to fight for a cause that mobilized three generations of activists. The dramatic experiences of these pioneering feminists--including an African American journalist, a mountain-climbing physician, a southern novelist, a polygamous Mormon wife, and two sisters on opposite sides of the suffrage divide--resonate powerfully today, as a new generation of women demands to be heard.

A wonderful use of material history, which students will find engaging and entertaining...A thoroughly researched and fascinating read on a diverse suffrage movement that will help spur interest in the movement well after the Anthony Amendment's centennial., In this history of women's suffrage, Ware spends time with the individuals who never received recognition for their efforts in the cause...Ware explores the thousands of ways that the idea of universal suffrage circulated and identifies who allowed it to circulate. We see minds changing, which would eventually lead to laws changing too., One woman can refuse to pay taxes. A dozen can issue a manifesto. But it takes a multitude to mount a parade. Susan Ware's lively and delightful book zooms in on the faces in the crowd to help us understand both the depth and the diversity of the women's suffrage movement. Some women went to jail. Others climbed mountains. Visual artists, dancers, and journalists all played a part. Suffragists tangled with each other as well as with opponents. Far from perfect, they used their own abilities, defects, and opportunities to build a movement that still resonates today., A complete historical portrait of the suffrage movement. Ware delves into the racism and Eurocentrism of the suffrage movement, as well as portraying suffragists from the South and West, Mormon suffragists, and pockets of suffrage history just brought to light. A tremendous work...this is my newest favorite history book., An endlessly readable ode to lesser-known--but equally important--women from a variety of backgrounds, all dedicated to the cause of women's suffrage...Ware is intentional in naming the racism of white suffragists and not backing away from shining a long-overdue light on the imperfections and inequities of the movement...While meticulously researched to satisfy the most seasoned suffrage scholar, the book is written most prominently for the enjoyment of armchair historians.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
