A review by thema99
The Women's Suffrage Movement by Sally Roesch Wagner
4.0
I'm giving this book 4 stars for being good at what it is—a book to reference on the Woman's Rights Movement with a wealth of great firsthand accounts. Most of those accounts, however, were boring to me. It started off smooth with Stanton's writing on the mother-age, which I loved, but my mistake was trying to read 583 pages of a political movement like a novel. It's not kind of book.
Still, I learned a lot from it. I especially value learning about the radical Victoria Woodhull, the woman who stood against a rich and entitled rapist a hundred years before #MeToo, and Belva Blackwood, the the first woman to campaign and get votes to become the US President (Woodhull tried earlier, but didn't campaign) after successfully lobbying for many women's rights laws.
