The Women's March by Jennifer Chiaverini
3.0
3.5 maybe?
This book started out so promising for me. The first few chapters gave me visions of rating this 5 stars. I guess things changed a little bit. I did enjoy this book and feel like I learned a lot. However, I wouldn't consider this a typical historical fiction novel, even one that is based deeply in facts. It was more like reading a nonfiction book that had been lightly fictionalized to make it more interesting. There were sections that just felt like info dumps. However, it was meticulously researched. I think any negative feelings I had for this book were because I was expecting something different from what it actually was, so that's on me. It was a good read, and a beautiful reminder of the women who were willing to give up everything to gain the vote.
