If you’ve seen the musical ‘Suffs’, this is the book it’s based on.

It’s a journalistic account of the years leading up to women gaining the vote in the USA in 1920.

Parts are pretty dry, and you have to be as patient as the women were, while politicians bloviate and the 19th amendment moves like molasses through government.

But much this book is really compelling and the reader is introduced to brave and determined people who never quit on their mission to get women’s suffrage.

Worth the effort.
