Roses and Radicals: The Epic Story of How American Women Won the Right to Vote | 
pick102 years ago ...
I'm still bitter that the pandemic cheated us out of a real centennial celebration of Women's Right to vote, and everyone just shrugged and said "oh well."
I'm also bitter that this entire part of US history is basically a footnote in most history books and only briefly covered in most history classes. I barely knew anything about it.

"Sitting in a coffee shop one day, I came across a newspaper article about the hundredth anniversary of the fight for a women's right to vote--a struggle also known as suffrage." #RosesandRadicals #SusanZimet

pickSo it turns out that I knew next to nothing of the suffrage movement in America. I mean, I knew the names of the women, but not the awful struggles they went through to get the vote. The Night of Terror was something I'd never read about. I didn't know the violence suffragettes faced... I guess I had assumed the men opposing votes were just rude and condescending. A great introduction into how women fought for the right to vote!
pickGreat, quick (I listened to the audiobook) look at women‘s suffrage. It is a collection of brief bios of the main suffragists woven through a brief history of the movement with some deeper dives into key points. A really great overview of women‘s fight for the vote.
pickI finished this book today while attempting my first grilled pizza. This was a well written short nonfiction about the fight for women‘s suffrage in the United States. It‘s an an important piece of history that I want to see more of my students understand, and I hope this book will catch their interest.

With spending so much of my time at a computer for virtual school, I don‘t feel like sitting down to read more complex texts when I have the time. This short nonfiction seemed like a good choice instead for my breakfast reading. I‘ve also been listening to the daily digest of the New York Times available from Audible each day.

pickA good quick read that taught me a couple new things about suffragettes during Women's history month!
I like that this book doesn't put on #rosecoloredglasses about Elizabeth Cady Stanton. There is no justifying racism. Hope everybody is staying healthy and quarantined! #womenshistorymonth

What a beautiful, unexpected gift, Sue! Thank you! ♥️♥️♥️ I‘m very excited to share this with my girls. We have some friends visiting this weekend and Lucy & Elliott have been schooling them on next generation feminism. ✊ I think they‘ll love this book.
pickThis books is fantastic! While the writing is geared toward a YA or even middle-grade audience, it is worth reading for all ages. The history of women's suffrage in the U.S. is told through the the stories of the activists who led the cause. I've read a decent amount on the topic, and still found new information in this. The tone is inspiring, and ultimately, the book is about more than history; it's a call to continue fighting for equality.#YAL
pickA fabulous look at feminist political history, mostly American, and the fight for the right to vote. A fight that led to the arrest, imprisonment, and torture of some of the women. It also looks at the racism that caused a schism in the movement. Let us do better this time.
pickLoved that it did not sugar coat Elizabeth Candy Stanton‘s racism.
