Bold & Brave: Ten Heroes Who Won Women the Right to Vote

Description

The perfect read for the one-hundredth anniversary of the nineteenth amendment
and in advance of the upcoming presidential election, this inspiring picture
book from United States Senator Kirsten Gillibrand shares the stories of ten
suffragists who fought for women’s right to vote. Bold & Brave introduces
children to strong women who have raised their voices on behalf of justice–
and inspires them to raise their own voices to build our future. Here are the
stories of ten leaders who strove to win the right to vote for American women
–a journey that took more than seventy years of passionate commitment. From
well-known figures, such as Susan B. Anthony and Sojourner Truth to lesser
known women such as Alice Paul and Mary Church Terrell, these are heroes who
dreamed big and never gave up. Senator Gillibrand highlights an important and
pithy lesson from each woman’s life–from “dare to be different” to “fight
together.” With gorgeous illustrations by renowned artist Maira Kalman, this
is a book that will inspire and uplift, a book to be cherished and shared. The
suffragists included are: Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Sojourner
Truth, Harriet Tubman, Jovita Idár, Alice Paul, Inez Milholland, Ida B. Wells,
Lucy Burns, and Mary Church Terrell. Read more
