WINNING THE VOTE The Triumph of the American Woman Suffrage Movement Finally honoring the suffrage movement with the attention and dignity it deserves, this deluxe clothbound Special Edition was created for history lovers, book collectors, and those who make diplomatic and organizational presentations. The profusely illustrated work includes an exclusive opening 16-page photographic essay celebrating women’s drive for the vote which features powerful, thematic photographs, rare color illustrations, and inspiring quotes that capture the spirit and essence of the suffrage experience. This beautifully produced 512-page book is bound in a sensuous, rich purple Japanese silk with gold embossing, and is presented in an elegant, matching, gold embossed slip case to keep it pristine for years. Each Special Edition is signed and numbered by the author. Only 50 out of a maximum 500 copies have so far been produced. Gold silk book mark, bibliography, and index. This is a true collector’s edition, a book you and your loved ones will treasure for generations. Winning the Vote captures the color and excitement of a central, inspiring, but nearly forgotten chapter in American history. This beautifully designed hardback presents the American woman suffrage movement clearly and chronologically with emphasis on the remarkable personalities and turbulent political campaigns of the early 20th century. Nearly 1,000 photographs, posters, leaflets and portraits illustrate this fascinating account of the expansion of American democracy. Large format images and a fast paced text highlight key developments between 1848 and 1920, including over 52 state electoral campaigns and the final, controversial drive for the 19th amendment. Winning the Vote shows how women have long been active participants in U.S. history and how many became politically powerful before winning the right to vote. There are profiles of 78 American women and men, black and white, who led the drive for equal rights, and an unprecedented display of the symbolism, color, and imagery used by the increasingly sophisticated suffrage movement. The opening 3 chapters, out of 18, cover efforts for full democracy in the 19th century, and an Epilogue follows suffragists into government and other influential areas after 1920. Approximately 496 page including the bibliography.
