Vindication of the Rights of Woman | Mary Wollstonecraft

Wollstonecraft's biography is as colorful & fascinating as that of her daughter, Mary Shelley, & her friends. In January 1798, four months after her death, her husband William Godwin shocked the public with his memoirs of his late wife. He chronicled her suicide attempts, illegitimate children & love affairs. Mary was viciously attacked by writers during her life & after, but her championing of women's rights based on a rational society would 👇

Born Criminal: Matilda Joslyn Gage, Radical Suffragist | Angelica Shirley Carpenter, Angelica Shirley Shirley

Matilda Joslyn Gage, mother-in-law of Oz creator L. Frank Baum, was a #SisterSuffragette. I wonder if that‘s why his books have so many strong female characters? #MusicalNewYear

The Suffragettes | ed. Penguin Classics

My little black penguin classic book about the suffragettes fits today‘s prompt #SisterSuffragette #MusicalNewYear

This is a collection of different types of texts from the time the suffragettes fought for their rights without knowing how it would turn out.

Purple Springs | Nellie L. McClung

Nellie McClung was a #sistersuffragette who fought for women's rights in Canada. She eventually dedicated herself to writing.
I read the tagged book in a college class a long time ago. It was the final book in a girls series about Pearlie Watson who grows up on the Canadian prairie. I remember it being a bit on the preachy side. 😛

Movers and Shakers, Scalawags and Suffragettes: Tales from Bellefontaine Cemetery | Carol Ferring Shepley

Pretty sure I need to read this book. It tells the stories of people buried in Bellefontaine Cemetery in St Louis, including some suffragettes.

The Guilty Feminist: From our noble goals to our worst hypocrisies | Deborah Frances-White

I love The Guilty Feminist podcast, and all the amazing things I learn from it. I‘m especially excited about the musical Suffrageddon, which is trying to get funded and put into production. It is written and performed by WoC, and the snippets which have been performed on the podcast sound awesome 🙌

The Secret History of Wonder Woman | Jill Lepore

This sounds intriguing and the partial story of Olive - who has a real life #sistersuffragette- Margaret Sanford. The reviews indicate this is not about Wonder Woman as much as the lives behind Wonder Woman #musicalnewyear

Cinfhen, vivastory

shawnmooney I highly recommend this one! 5y

Cinfhen I‘m intrigued ~ hoping my library will have an E copy to borrow 🤞🏼 5y
