Beautiful volume detailing Virginia’s unique state history in the long campaign to gain voting rights for women.
Virginia women (and a few men) profiled in this book took extraordinary actions over many years to build momentum for eventual enfranchisement of women. They toiled in dreadful conditions and deserve to be honored and remembered. Only a few of their names are recognized now, but this well written and documented chronicle of the long fight names and shows them off beautifully.
Rich with historic photos and details of Equal Suffrage League (ESL) and other organizing throughout the Commonwealth. Includes frank discussion of race and politics in the Jim Crow South and dominant powers in Richmond.
Highly recommended.
