The Woman’s Hour (2020) by Elaine Weiss
The Woman’s Hour covers the history of women’s suffrage and the lead-up to that final vote in the final state that led to the Nineteenth Amendment passing. I was never interested in history growing up and would have laughed at the idea of devouring a history book. But, as I grow older and cover history with our kids in homeschool, I’m realizing just how fascinating it is. The story of the Nineteenth Amendment has courage, drama, suspense, entertainment, and heart all on its own. But writer, Elaine Weiss and adapter, Erica Moroz, sure add to it. You’ll definitely want to check this one out!
This book is a young reader version, based on the adult book, The Woman’s Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote. While I have yet to read the original version, the young reader one is definitely worth your while.
