The Women’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote, by Elaine Weiss
“Given this summer’s centennial of the 19th Amendment—and the launch of our new nonprofit newsroom—I’ve been deeply studying the high-stakes drama of women’s suffrage. This read is thrilling, suspenseful, and pulls no punches when it comes to the racist roots of some white women's fight for the vote.”
