Women's suffrage

Nancy Ohlin

Book - 2018

"When people think about the women's suffrage movement, things like voting rights and protests may come to mind. But what was the movement all about, and what social change did it bring? Find out interesting, little-known facts such as how the suffragists were the first people to ever picket the White House and how the nineteenth amendment granting women the right to vote passed by only one vote when a legislator changed his vote to "yes" after receiving a letter from his mother telling him to "do the right thing.""--

Review by Booklist Review

Despite their compact size, the books in the Blast Back! series give readers a well-rounded look at a historical subject. Women's Suffrage is given a full treatment, with focus on the movement throughout the world, not just the U.S. Little-known facts women still can't vote in Vatican City are dropped throughout, and there are brief profiles of individual suffragettes. The pencil illustrations in both books are lively but sometimes belie the gravity of situations. Still, the perennial topics of interest and kid-friendly format should snare readers for these wide-ranging volumes.--Ilene Cooper Copyright 2018 Booklist
