We demand an equal voice
£12.99By 1915, American women had been working for the vote for more than six decades. They had tried everything they could think of – speeches before Congress, petitions a mile long, elaborate ground campaigns and even Supreme Court cases. But they hadn’t seen what the invincible duo, Carrie Chapman Catt and her life partner, Mary ‘Mollie’ Garrett Hay, could accomplish together. The suffrage movement was about to get a wake-up call. This book follows Carrie’s life from her earliest days as an Iowa farm girl through her growth as the nation’s pre-eminent suffrage leader, a role for which she was handpicked by her mentor, Susan B. Anthony. Carrie’s career hit its stride in 1915 when she and Mollie turned their fringe cause into a mass movement with a campaign that was bigger, more spectacular, more outrageous, and more, well, fun than any campaign, for any movement, in the history of the country, if not the world.
