From School Library Journal
Fifty suffragists are profiled in this volume that has value not only in the annotated bibliographies of books, periodicals, media, and Web sites, but also in the chapters on the featured activists. Through multiple indexes, materials are accessible by author, title, and subject. Chapters include classroom activities, field-trip options, YA discussion points, and relevant drama and fiction. A section on the suffrage movement in other countries completes the work. This is an important book for collections that support persuasive writing, classroom debate, and historical reflection. It is the most comprehensive collection of resources available on this topic.—
