Stories from Suffragette City
By M. J. Rose & Fiona Davis &Publisher Description
Stories from Suffragette City is a collection of short stories that all take place on a single day: October 23, 1915. It’s the day when tens of thousands of women marched up Fifth Avenue, demanding the right to vote in New York City. Drawing inspiration from this landmark moment, thirteen acclaimed authors raise the voices of history and breathe fresh life into their struggles and triumphs.
Some of the characters depicted are well-known, others are unfamiliar, but all of them make sacrifices for democracy. We follow a young woman who is swept up in the protests when all she expected was to come sell her apples in the city. We see Alva Vanderbilt as her white-gloved sensibility is transformed over the course of the single fateful day. Ida B. Wells battles for racial justice within the women’s suffrage movement.
