Remember the Ladies

Descriere

The years 2017-2019 mark the centennial of women first winning the right to vote in key states, representing a turning point in the drive to win national suffrage in 1920. The centennial celebrations have begun! REMEMBER THE LADIES documents the milestones in that hard-won struggle and reflects on women''s impact on politics since. Named a "best book of 2017" on several important listings, REMEMBER THE LADIES--now in paperback--is a must-have as the 100th anniversary of women gaining the right to vote in the United States approaches in 2020. When the Second Continental Congress of the thirteen colonies convened to draft the Declaration of Independence, Abigail Adams admonished her husband, John Adams, to "remember the ladies" (write rights for women into the laws for a new system of government!) to no avail. From the birth of our nation to the crushing defeat of the first female presidential nominee for a major party, this popular history highlights women''s impact on United States politics and government.
