Rebel Voices : The Rise of Votes for Women by Louise K. Stewart

5.0

Gorgeously illustrated picture book/graphic novel chronicling the 100+ year journeys of women around the world to gain the vote, starting with New Zealand in 1893 (I knew I loved New Zealand for many reasons, and here's another!). The most recent was Saudi Arabia, not until 2015. The two-page full color spreads show portraits of many of the women's rights activists of each country, often in clothing representing their culture, and with backgrounds showcasing local flavor. They're beautifully done. A timeline at the end includes many other countries in addition to the 23 showcased in the book, and an index of women and various terms like "suffragette" and "hunger strike," etc. A perfect book to read on the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment's passage here in the United States.
