We Demand the Right to Vote: The Journey to the 19th Amendment is an illustrated introductory overview of American women’s first civil rights movement known as “Women’s Suffrage.” This pivotal 72-year struggle for women’s social and political equality—from 1848 to 1920—culminated in women winning the right to vote via the 19th Amendment. Written from the national movement’s perspective in a conversational, easy-to-read style, We Demand the Right To Vote commences with Native American cultural influences and continues with women’s conventions, arrests, trials, petitions, battles won, and those lost to reveal society’s slow acceptance of women’s involvement outside of their socially prescribed realm.
