Publisher Description

Contemporary authors imagine the historic march for women’s suffrage in 1915 NYC “in this rousing anthology [with] a diverse range of vivid characters” (Kirkus Reviews).

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.

With an introduction by Kristin Hannah, this anthology includes stories from:

“This book showed up on my kindle right after I heard the news of Roe v. Wade. I figured it was an appropriate read for this time, and I was right. It was inspiring to read l the stories, both fact and fiction, about women on all different paths in life affected by the same day in history. This book gave me to the hope I need that one day we can change the world and regain our rights. I do wish the book revisited more of the characters. They all had really interesting stories that I felt like were left unfinished.”
“I really enjoyed the collection of suffragette stories that all center in some way around the women’s suffrage March in New York City in October of 1915. The stories are told for viewpoints of women from a multitude walks of life. It did a really nice job of reflecting all the women's life situation and really gave me a greater appreciation for what women did for myself to be able to vote.”
