Author Bozonelis chronicles the struggles of the dedicated and brave women who endured unimaginable hardship and endless public censure in their quest to earn this simple right. Even more, Bozonelis book shows how the Nineteenth Amendment was merely a first, important step in American womens long journey toward equality in the United States and helped give life to the modern womens movement and its continued efforts to make men and women truly equal. |
