Book Description
When Izzy agreed to take Basia from post-apocalyptic Hampshire back to early twentieth century London, she had no idea of the political powder keg she was walking into. Tired of trying to prevent humanity hurtling towards the future she saw in Basia’s world, Izzy has returned to her own timeline to decide whether she will go on fighting, or pick up the threads of her old life working as a journalist in London. Basia had agreed to her soulmate’s dying wish for her to carry on his work uniting the people on war torn Hampshire, England. Not ready to take on that responsibility, she took Time Guardian Sigma’s advice and has gone back in time to learn about women’s role in social change from Time Fixer Izzy. The two girls are in London for less than a day when their plans are derailed. Amidst violence and public outrage against them, advocates for women’s suffrage are marching to London, and Izzy is sent to Winchester to cover part of the march for a newspaper. In Winchester Izzy and Basia are forced to face their pasts, while plotting their futures. If that isn’t difficult enough, fate intervenes in the guise of a missing suffragist. As past and present blur together, they fear not only for the life of the missing girl, but also for the impact her disappearance will have on the timeline. They call on the help of their friends, but will they be able to rescue her in time? And, where is Sigma when you need him?

American Women's Suffrage: Voices from the Long Struggle for the Vote 1776-1965 (LOA #332)
Author: Susan Ware
Publisher: Library of America
ISBN: 1598536656
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 535
Book Description
In their own voices, the full story of the women and men who struggled to make American democracy whole With a record number of female candidates in the 2020 election and women's rights an increasingly urgent topic in the news, it's crucial that we understand the history that got us where we are now. For the first time, here is the full, definitive story of the movement for voting rights for American women, of every race, told through the voices of the women and men who lived it. Here are the most recognizable figures in the campaign for women's suffrage, like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, but also the black, Chinese, and American Indian women and men who were not only essential to the movement but expanded its directions and aims. Here, too, are the anti-suffragists who worried about where the country would head if the right to vote were universal. Expertly curated and introduced by scholar Susan Ware, each piece is prefaced by a headnote so that together these 100 selections by over 80 writers tell the full history of the movement--from Abigail Adams to the 1848 Declaration of Sentiments to the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 and the limiting of suffrage under Jim Crow. Importantly, it carries the story to 1965, and the passage of the Voting and Civil Rights Acts, which finally secured suffrage for all American women. Includes writings by Ida B. Wells, Mabel Lee, Margaret Fuller, Sojourner Truth, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Frederick Douglass, presidents Grover Cleveland on the anti-suffrage side and Woodrow Wilson urging passage of the Nineteenth Amendment as a wartime measure, Jane Addams, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, among many others.

No Votes for Women
Author: Susan Goodier
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252094670
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 275
Book Description
No Votes for Women explores the complicated history of the suffrage movement in New York State by delving into the stories of women who opposed the expansion of voting rights to women. Susan Goodier finds that conservative women who fought against suffrage encouraged women to retain their distinctive feminine identities as protectors of their homes and families, a role they felt was threatened by the imposition of masculine political responsibilities. She details the victories and defeats on both sides of the movement from its start in the 1890s to its end in the 1930s, acknowledging the powerful activism of this often overlooked and misunderstood political force in the history of women's equality.
