History Smashers: Women's Right to Vote by Kate Messner

hopeful informative fast-paced

4.5

I really enjoyed this installment in the History Smashers series. The book does a great job of providing context for primary sources, explaining how historical research works, and making the story of women's suffrage easy to understand and engaging. I really appreciated the honesty about the flaws and racism of some of the most famous women's suffragists, as well as the highlighting of many women who were involved in the process, but have not been celebrated to the same extent because of racism or classism.
