A campaign for women’s suffrage, told through Alice Paul and Lucy Burns

Susan Campbell Bartoletti places the 1913 DC Women’s March within a broader account of the suffrage campaign from 1909 to 1920. Alice Paul and Lucy Burns anchor the story: their activism included hunger strikes and imprisonment as they worked toward women’s voting rights. Archival photographs and other images provide historical context, while extensive back matter offers material beyond the main narrative. The book brings together two individual activists, a major public demonstration, and the longer effort to secure suffrage in the United States.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in United States history

Book overview

This is how history should be told to kids--with photos, illustrations, and captivating storytelling.

From Newbery Honor medalist Susan Campbell Bartoletti and in time to celebrate the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in America comes the page-turning, stunningly illustrated, and tirelessly researched story of the little-known DC Women's March of 1913.

Bartoletti spins a story like few others--deftly taking readers by the hand and introducing them to suffragists Alice Paul and Lucy Burns. Paul and Burns met in a London jail and fought their way through hunger strikes, jail time, and much more to win a long, difficult victory for America and its women.

Includes extensive back matter and dozens of archival images to evoke the time period between 1909 and 1920.
