DESCRIPTION:
AbbytheNormal said If you want to read an opinion based historical narrative. THIS IS IT!. I am a women's history historian and I simply cannot finish this book. I have invested the majority of my education and research concerning myself with the issue of race in regards to woman suffrage - which is ultimately the primary reason I purchased this book.

I'm taking an American history class and I'm writing a paper on women's rights. This book is just what I needed to incorporate the African American women who fought for women's right's in this time period.
