Women’s Suffrage: Giving the Right to Vote to All Americans

Description

Although the U.S. Constitution was ratified in 1788, it wasn’t until 1920 that women were finally given the right to vote. Using primary source information integrated with at-level text and photographs with explanatory captions, MacBain-Stephens traces the struggles and campaigns of the suffrage movement through the pioneering work and determination of leaders such as Susan B. Anthony, Lucretia Mott, and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Thanks to the efforts of the suffragists, women not only can vote but have also held public office on the local, state, and national levels.
