Description

The United States of The us is almost 250 years old, but American women won the correct to vote not up to a hundred years ago.

And when the controversial nineteenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution-the only granting suffrage to ladies-was once after all ratified in 1920, it passed by a mere one-vote margin.

The amendment only succeeded because a courageous group of women had been relentlessly demanding the correct to vote for more than seventy years. The leaders of the suffrage movement are heroes who were fearless within the face of ridicule, arrest, imprisonment, or even torture. Many of them devoted themselves to the cause knowing they wouldn’t live to cast a ballot.
The story of women’s suffrage is epic, frustrating, and as complex as the women who fought for it. Illustrated with portraits, period cartoons, and other images, Roses and Radicals celebrates this captivating yet lost sight of piece of American history and the women who made it happen.
