The Accidental Suffragist by Galia Gichon
4.0
Triggers: loss of a child, some non graphic assault and rape
The Accidental Suffragist is a story of a woman who gets introduced accidentally into the Suffrage movement. This Suffragist story is from a view point of a woman who lives in a tenement and works in a factory. Though all the main characters of the Suffragist movement like Alice Paul make appearances this novel is about how a normal woman for whom daily wages were very important. Helen is a very strong and wonderful character who fights for what she believes is right though she loves her family. The novel takes us through the march to Washington and a little later after that period. This story is both poignant, empowering and inspirational at the same time. It does not matter what background you come from or what your class is when you set your mind on something.
This novel though is a story of suffrage it is a very fast and light read especially if you want to know more about the suffragist movement. It lightly skims over the events surrounding the movement. Its more about Helen's story than anything else. I loved reading this book.
