“With equal parts savvy and sass, Quinn hits all the milestone… Unlike some history books that read as overly snoozy or dense and impenetrable, “She Votes” is accessible, witty and fun.” — Alexis Burling, San Francisco Chronicle
This is not your average history of women’s rights. It’s a collection of heart-pounding scenes and keenly observed portraits. Bridget Quinn tells an intersectional story of the women who won suffrage, and those who have continued to raise their voices for equality ever since—from Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Audre Lorde, and from the first female Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation to the first woman to wear pants on the Senate floor.
In honor of the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment in 2020, 100 women artists have contributed to this book. Each brings a unique perspective; together, they embody the multiplicity of women in the United States. She Votes is a refreshing and illuminating book for feminists of all kinds.
