I wish I had read this book sooner when I was learning about women’s suffrage in high school classrooms, and never had the opportunity to not only hear the names of incredible women like Alva Smith, but learn their stories. It is a shame that we don’t hear of her and so many others like her, this book should be required reading for all students in order to understand why the fight for women’s rights is not only a noble cause but an essential one. So impressed with Therese Anne Fowler’s writing and storytelling, will definitely watch out for more of her work!
