Today’s women have the right to vote, but the idea of it being any other way is so inconceivable and foreign to the average person in the developed world that it’s hard to imagine things were so different just a century ago. In the grand scheme of things, a hundred years is little more than a minor episode, so it might as well have been yesterday. And, of course, that’s if we’re focusing exclusively on the United States, where women finally got the right to vote in 1920. Many other countries in the developed world took decades more to make this dream a reality. In many other places in the world, women are still excluded from the political process to at least some degree. This is a story of struggle and of the major progress that struggle can bring about.

The years immediately following World War I gave rise to several concepts, one of which was women's suffrage, a movement that would catch fire in different countries around the world at different times in history. For America, that movement began in World War I and carried into World War II. This book explores the events of the movement, ideas that led to its formation and execution, how the key players in this era took great strides to accomplish their dreams, and what effects these achievements had in years and decades to come.

Suffrage at 100 looks at women's engagement in US electoral politics and government over the one hundred years since the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. In the 2018 midterm elections, 102 women were elected to the House and 14 to the Senate—a record for both bodies. And yet nearly a century after the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, the notion of congressional gender parity by 2020—a stated goal of the National Women's Political Caucus at the time of its founding in 1971—remains a distant ideal. In Suffrage at 100, Stacie Taranto and Leandra Zarnow bring together twenty-two scholars to take stock of women's engagement in electoral politics over the past one hundred years. This is the first wide-ranging collection to historically examine women's full political engagement in and beyond electoral office since they gained a constitutional right to vote. The book explores why women's access to, and influence on, political power remains frustratingly uneven, particularly for women of color and queer women. Examining how women have acted collectively and individually, both within and outside of electoral and governmental channels, the book moves from the front lines of community organizing to the highest glass ceiling. Essays touch on • labor and civil rights • education • environmentalism • enfranchisement and voter suppression • conservatism vs. liberalism • indigeneity and transnationalism • LGBTQ and personal politics • Pan-Asian, Chicana, and black feminisms • commemoration and public history • and much more.

The acclaimed historian explores the seventy-year fight for women’s suffrage and the struggle for equality that continues today—with a foreword by Nancy Pelosi. In Victory for the Vote, women’s history expert Doris Weatherford presents a detailed history of the women’s suffrage movement from the 1848 Seneca Falls Convention to the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920. Weatherford then puts the fight for the right to vote into a contemporary context by discussing key challenges for women in the decades that followed—reproductive rights, the Equal Rights Amendment, and political power. Victory for the Vote is an expansion and update of Doris Weatherford’s A History of the American Suffragist Movement, published in 1998 in honor of the 150th anniversary of the Seneca Falls Convention. With a foreword by Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, this new edition celebrates the centennial of the Nineteenth Amendment and the continued fight for women’s rights in the United States.

Perfect for Women's History Month, here is the story of the extraordinary Alice Paul, a leader in the long struggle for votes for women. Alice Paul made a significant impact on both the woman's suffrage movement—the long struggle for votes for women—to the "second wave," when women demanded full equality with men. After women won the vote in 1920, Paul wrote the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which would make all the laws that discriminated against women unconstitutional. Passage of the ERA became the rallying cry of a new movement of young women in the 1960s and '70s. Paul saw another chance to advance women's rights when the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 began moving through Congress. She set in motion the "sex amendment," which remains a crucial legal tool for helping women fight discrimination in the workplace. A true "girl power" book for today's young women, the title includes archival images, an author's note, a bibliography, and source notes.
