Summary:
"Twenty-five-year-old Alice Paul returns to her native New Jersey after years on the front lines of the suffrage movement in Great Britain. Weakened from imprisonment and hunger strikes, she is determined to invigorate America's stagnant suffrage movement. Nine states have already granted women voting rights, but only a constitutional amendment will secure the vote for all. To inspire support, Alice organizes a magnificent procession down Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., the day before the inauguration of President-Elect Woodrow Wilson, a firm antisuffragist. Joining the march is New Yorker Maud Malone, librarian and advocate for workers' rights. The daughter of Irish immigrants, Maud has acquired a reputation-and a criminal record-for interrupting politicians' speeches with pointed questions they'd rather ignore. With them is journalist Ida B. Wells-Barnett, who resolves that women of color must also be included in the march--and the vote. Born into slavery in Mississippi, Ida worries that white suffragists may exclude Black women. On March 3, 1913, the glorious march commences, but vast crowds of belligerent men block the parade route--jeering, shouting threats, assaulting the marchers. Will this endanger not only the success of the demonstration but the women's very lives?"-- Provided by publisher.
