Finish the Fight!: The Brave and Revolutionary Women Who Fought for the Right to Vote
Autor Veronica Chambers Ilustrat de The Staff of The New York Timesen Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 aug 2020 – vârsta până la 12 ani
Who was at the forefront of women's right to vote? We know a few famous names, like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, but what about so many others from diverse backgrounds—black, Asian, Latinx, Native American, and more—who helped lead the fight for suffrage? On the hundredth anniversary of the historic win for women's rights, it's time to celebrate the names and stories of the women whose stories have yet to be told.
Gorgeous portraits accompany biographies of such fierce but forgotten women as Yankton Dakota Sioux writer and advocate Zitkála-Šá, Mary Eliza Church Terrell, who cofounded the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), and Mabel Ping-Hua Lee, who, at just sixteen years old, helped lead the biggest parade in history to promote the cause of suffrage.
Finish the Fight! will fit alongside important collections that tell the full story of America's fiercest women.

"Timely, moving, and necessary." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Eye-catching." — Horn Book Magazine
"This collection of remarkable women will make for a thorough primary source for middle grade research projects.... Recommended for school and public libraries, especially where whitewashed histories detailing the suffrage movement need updating." — School Library Journal
