Book excerpt: We Demand the Right to Vote: The Journey to the 19th Amendment introduces readers to American women's civil rights movement known as "Women's Suffrage,"- women's 72-year struggle for social and political equality that culminated in their winning the right to vote. Written in a conversational, easy-to-read style, this historical account commences with Native American cultural influences and continues with women's conventions, arrests, trials, petitions, battles won, and those lost to reveal society's slow acceptance of women's involvement outside of their socially prescribed realm. Throughout the book's journey, enchanting graphic artwork visually illustrates the various pivotal moments chronicled in each chapter. We Demand the Right to Vote is an overview from the national perspective of this defining period in women's history.
