Jessica D. Jenkins, "Exploring Women's Suffrage through 50 Historic Treasures"

A full-color exploration of the history of women's suffrage.

From hunger strikes to massive parades, the American women�s suffrage movement grabbed the attention of citizens and politicians around the United States. Posters, lapel buttons, and even luncheonette plates carried the iconic phrase, �Votes for Women.� Over time this phrase became not only a slogan, but a rallying cry for the movement. Today, museums, libraries, universities, and historic sites across the country care for the objects and places that tell the story of suffrage. Exploring Women�s Suffrage through 50 Historic Treasures brings together a selection of these cultural gems representing the milestones, people, and legacy of the long campaign for women�s voting rights. Through color photos and short essays detailing each object�s story, readers will not only find themselves in the action of a groundbreaking social and political movement, but they are also transported around the nation to the institutions and sites that are the keepers of the country�s past.
