Plot Summary:

Setting: starts in America during colonization

The major takeaways of this book are that:

-there were a lot of women involved in the women's rights movement
-it lasted a very, very long time
-some of the women fighting for their right to vote were racist and believed white women should have the right to vote before Black men
-we hear about Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton the most often because they recorded the history of the movement as it was happening, used their own money to get it published

Recurring Themes: racism, women's rights, civil rights, standing up for what you believe,

Controversial Issues: Some of the women in the movement lived with a same-sex partner.
