With this being an election year AND the 100th Anniversary of women’s suffrage, this is a timely book. The story is a reminder of the long and difficult struggle suffragettes endured to win the right of women to vote.
When the determined, young female college professor writes newspaper articles favoring women’s suffrage, the college does not approve. Subsequently she moves to Wyoming where women can vote and casts her very first vote. She struggles to decide whether to stay in Wyoming where she can vote or move back east for a job and husband she loves. With her decision comes her determination to fully fight for the right of all women to vote. Included in the history that occurs during the ensuing years, the Spanish Flu epidemic that sweeps the nation seems like a preview of what is happening today.
The quality and sheer excellence of the writing makes this book one that is hard to put down.
