Due out 10/27/20. What a great way to live a little bit of history. Each story handles the October 12, 1915 suffrage parade from a different angle, through a different character's eyes--young, old, men, women, women of color. As you go deeper into the collection the kaleidoscope view copes into focus. You see how much the suffrage movement accomplished, and how much more it had to accomplish. There is something for everyone here.

Raccolta di brevi racconti, ambientati tutti nello stesso giorno, che ci permettono di vedere la marcia delle suffragette di NY del 1915 attraverso diversi punti di vista.
Come succede sempre in questo tipo di raccolte, alcuni racconti sono più intriganti e interessanti di altri, però in generale è fatta abbastanza bene.
Lettura interessante per chi vuole approcciarsi al tema del femminismo e iniziare a conoscere un pochino di più sul tema delle suffragette

This was a really fun and enlightening collection! I liked how the stories interacted in simple yet small ways, and I was always on the search for parts and characters of other stories while reading! I will say that I didn't realize going in that it would all be about the same city and the same event (that's just me not really reading the synopsis), so I expected there to be a lot more variation in the tone/writing and the events, but most of the stories sounded like they could have been written by the same author, so at certain points it wasn't to most exciting read for me, but I liked it nonetheless. I am very glad my local library was carrying this so that I could pick it up and enjoy! I recommend those who want some feminism but nothing too heavy.

Fictional short stories from a variety of best selling authors centered around a March for Women’s Suffrage in the early 1900s. Many based on real people and accounts from that time period. Many of the stories were connected—often through one little girl Grace—but each discussed some aspect of suffrage—from the exclusion of Black women from the movement, to the many reasons various women took up the fight. Interesting read.

Fun stories that paint a vivid picture of the New York City suffrage scene. Some delightful characters, real and imagined.

I have never read a collection of short stories in one book before. It was very different and took a little while for me to used to. Once I was able to separate the stories from each other, I really began to appreciate this book. Each story was special in its own way. They were all unique, but I loved how a few of them intertwined. I love this topic and that this book highlights how there were are many voices and stories to be heard.

Like almost all anthologies, this group of stories is a mixed bag. The stories center around the 1915 march for women's suffrage in New York City. Some of the writers used real people and others created their characters, though it was clear everyone had done his or her research. I enjoyed the author's notes about each story at the end of the book, though I think it would have been better to have them after each story instead of all together at the end, at least for the audiobook. This would make a nice book flight with Elaine F. Weiss's nonfiction book The Woman's Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote. 3.5 stars.
