From School Library Journal:

Grade 9 Up–This admirable offering includes a lively discussion of the history of the movement, the personalities involved, and the strategies used to finally obtain the vote. It opens with a list of Important People, Places and Terms and a chronology with page references, followed by a narrative overview, biographical sketches, and primary documents. There are some exceptional inclusions such as excerpts from Francis Parkmans booklet Some of the Reasons against Woman Suffrage and Rose Winslows notes, spirited out of prison during her 1917 hunger strike. A feature that sets this book apart is a chapter on The Legacy of Womens Suffrage, which examines the effects of the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment on society as a whole and particularly on womens rights and the womens liberation movement of the 1960s and 1970s. This material, however, has been expertly covered over the last several years with titles such as Elizabeth Frost-Knappman and Kathryn Cullen DuPonts Womens Suffrage in America (Facts On File, 2005), Doris Weatherfords A History of the American Suffragist Movement (ABC-CLIO, 1998), and, for reference collections, Robert Cooneys Winning the Vote: The Triumph of the American Woman Suffrage Movement (American Graphic, 2005).–Joanne K.
