Description
Based on the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Suffs, this compelling historical novel follows a group of suffragists in the final years of the fight for women's right to vote in America, as they risk everything to demand change and make history.
It's 1913 and best friends Alice and Lucy are headed to Washington, D.C. with a big, impossible plan - to organize the first ever protest march down Pennsylvania Avenue, demanding the right to vote. But how will they do it when it's never been done?
Enter the suffs. The suffrage movement has been long and passionate. Trailblazers like journalist Ida B. Wells and Alice's childhood hero, Carrie Chapman Catt have been in the fight for years. And the law remains unchanged. Now, the young are at the gates. Together with socialite Inez Milholland, immigrant Ruza Wenclawska, and more, Alice and Lucy are determined to win. No matter what it takes.
How far are you willing to go for what you believe in? It's a journey that will change the suffs, and the country, forever.
