Description

The author of Mesmerized delivers another fascinating glimpse into history with the story of two brave suffragists, Nell Richardson and Alice Burke, who set out on a trek across America in 1916 to spread the word about women's suffrage. With a little yellow car, a typewriter, a sewing machine, a kitten, and a determined spirit, they braved harsh conditions and opposition to advocate for Votes for Women. This lively and whimsical picture book by Mara Rockliff, illustrated by Hadley Hooper, celebrates their inspiring journey and the suffrage movement.
