#AuthorSharesYrInitials #BookBinge Thank you to @Eggs and @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for today‘s prompt! I did an internet search which led me to this Suffragette poet whose work I‘m now super excited to read! If you can‘t see this image you should do a quick google image search for her name and check out the amazing ephemera that pops up!

Suet624 Love this. 9mo

SassyBookworm This is great! 9mo

IndoorDame @SassyBookworm @Suet624 there‘s a series called forgotten books classic reprints so you can actually buy and borrow some books like this from the library pretty easily. I grabbed a volume of hers from Libby yesterday. 9mo

The Power of Woman: The Life and Writings of Sarah Moore Grimke | Pamela R. Durso

I know #internationalwomansday has gone but I celebrate woman everyday 🥰 because I just love them. ❤️
My local library has a very small display of books dedicated I think to female authors and female characters, check it out.

KathyWheeler Weirdly, I‘ve only read one of those books, Red Clocks. I wanted to like that book more than I actually liked it. I‘ll have to check out the others, especially that Pat Barker one. 13mo

Roses and Radicals: The Epic Story of How American Women Won the Right to Vote | Susan Zimet

pick

102 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.

Tagged is an A+ account and should be required high school reading.

The Woman's Hour: The Last Furious Fight to Win the Vote | Elaine F. Weiss

Thank you for sending me in an awesome trip around the world, as the indomitable Nellie Bly, @StayCurious! Such a fun package. I love everything, but am especially stoked about the pocket watch and pen! Hoping to dig into the books and candy soon. Thank you and our hosts! @DinoMom @Chrissyreadit #staycationintimeswap #sits #staycationintime

A Time for Courage: The Suffragette Diary of Kathleen Bowen, Washington, D.c., 1917 | Kathryn Lasky

Reading this book in the midst of all the kerfuffle around the potential repeal of Roe was like a knife in the heart. And it‘s a book for tweens! And it was heartbreaking to realize that nothing has changed at all! The other book that I had a hard time choosing between was Stamped (For Kids) — a version of Ibram X. Kendi‘s book geared toward 4th graders so my kid will be ready for it soon.

Jailed for Freedom | Doris Stevens

Went and saw this new musical at the Public (starring Phillippa Soo of Hamilton fame) — it was based upon the tagged memoir, following the American suffrage movement. Well-written and clever, pulls at your heartstrings & makes you laugh (and cry). I need to find a copy of Doris‘ book now….
