Women in the United States didn’t win the right to vote until 1920 with passage of the 19^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Robert P. J. Cooney, Jr., tells the story as no other author has, capturing the color, passion, and excitement of this important part of American history.

This beautifully designed hardback presents the suffrage movement clearly and chronologically, with emphasis on the remarkable personalities and turbulent political campaigns of the early 20^th century.  The book uses over 960 photographs, posters, leaflets, and portraits to illustrate this fascinating account of the expansion of American democracy.  Large format images and a fast paced text highlight key developments between 1848 and 1920, including over 50 state electoral campaigns and the final, controversial, and hard fought drive for the 19^th Amendment.
