Suffragette: The Battle for Equality

By David Roberts

Book Overview

A New York Times best-selling illustrator turns his talents to a lavish history of the women's suffrage movement in the U.K. and the U.S. -- just in time for the hundredth anniversary of the nineteenth amendment.

Imprisonment, hunger strikes, suffrajitsu -- the decades-long fight for women's right to vote was at times a ferocious one. Taking a frank look at this fervent history is acclaimed artist David Roberts, who has created a timely and thoroughly engaging resource in his first turn as nonfiction author-illustrator. Enlivened by abundant, beautifully detailed full-color illustrations and an inviting text, Suffragette: The Battle for Equality follows the trajectory of the movement in Great Britain and visits some key figures in the United States as it presents the well-told stories of Millicent Garrett Fawcett, Emmeline Pankhurst, Ida B. Wells, Susan B. Anthony, and many more persistent women of history -- making it a perfect gift for young readers of today.
