The Women Who Won the Vote: 5-Minute Genius

PreS-Gr 3–The women’s suffrage movement took place in crowded lecture halls, prison cells, and in newspaper headlines. The book features 10 of the most influential people who helped bring this goal to fruition. In just five minutes per segment, the book introduces familiar names like Sojourner Truth and Susan B. Anthony, and other figures not often covered, such as Ojibwe lawyer Marie Louise Bottineau Baldwin, through accessible language and memorable imagery. Because of the complexity of the concepts featured in the text and the vocabulary used, this work is best shared with a caregiver or educator. It includes biographical and supporting information about relevant suffrage-related topics. Using child-friendly font and detailed, eye-catching illustrations, the collection draws readers in and offers a reasonable foundation from which to continue learning about the movement that ultimately led to equal voting rights for women. Back matter includes a timeline.
