Happy Women's History Month!
This was a pretty short and sweet historical account aimed at younger readers. For me, it served as a good overview and timeline for the UK and US suffrage movements. The force-feeding of the women while imprisoned was included in this account, introducing some of the hardships and cruelty that can be faced when trying to create social change.
I really appreciated the inclusion of women of colour and how they were received by some of the White Suffragists and especially the final thoughts that the book leaves the reader with, this was just the beginning. There is an emphasis on pursuing equality for all which is a great message and will hopefully inspire a new generation of activists.
