American women won the right to vote in 1919, but did you know that years before, the suffragists made history with a gathering in Washington DC known as The Women’s March of 1913? On the day before the inauguration of President Woodrow Wilson, five thousand women from all over the country traveled to the nation's capitol to take part in a pageant and parade from the Capitol Building to the Treasury Building all along Pennsylvania Avenue. Why? To demand an amendment to the constitution! In a gorgeous, full-color 80-page book, Susan Campbell Bartoletti details what led up to the parade, how the parade turned out, and what happened after. Readers will see the fight for woman suffrage through the eyes of two heroic leaders: Alice Paul and Lucy Burns. From Alice and Lucy’s very first meeting at a London police station and their return to America with experience organizing for women's rights, these women and their comrades were willing to do anything, including going to prison and on hunger strikes, to get the attention needed for their cause.
