Women fought for almost a century to win the right to vote. For many, especially women of color, the fight continues long after 1920. This revised and expanded edition of a classic anthology adds new information and insights about the long, complex, ever-evolving suffrage struggle, including the role of the South and white supremacy, diversity within the movement, the international context of the U.S. suffrage movement, and the battle to expand and protect voting rights that continues to this day.
One hundred years after the success of the Nineteenth Amendment, rediscovering the women's suffrage movement is more important and relevant than ever.
