VICTORY FOR THE VOTE The Fight for Women's Suffrage and the Century That Followed

Narrator Marguerite Gavin finds a conversational tone in this audiobook tracing the women's suffrage movement from Seneca Falls, New York, back through Colonial times and then onward through the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment. She continues with a narrative of the last 100 years of struggle for the equal representation of women. This audiobook offers a broad historical context that includes the effects on the movement of giving precedence to the voting rights of enslaved males over the rights of women. At a steady pace, Gavin takes the listener through the complications caused by Prohibition, various waves of immigrants, and religion. She maintains an even tone throughout a history that relies, in part, on excerpts from letters, speeches, and newspaper accounts. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2020]
