This book was a wonderful read and I hate to part with it, but want to share it with others since now it is just sitting on my shelf. A must read for women of all ages. It kept my attention throughout and in my opinion is historical fiction at its best. I learned so much about how my right to vote came about and the great women who fought for it...something we are not taught much about in school. It was absolutely fascinating. I did a lot of online research on the people in this book and it seems this book is very true to both place and history. It was fun to see their photographs and read some of the actual newspaper articles about the people and events. Highly recommended.
