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 is incredibly powerful. I read it for my Junior League book club and every one of us cried while reading it. This is a collection of historical fiction short stories from prominent authors chronicling the events of the Women’s march in 1915. From immigrants to orphans to prominent socialites, the stories reflect on the Women’s Suffrage movement and how women and men from all walks of life became involved in the movement. I particularly loved “A Woman in Movement” by Alyson Richman. This book is an excellent reminder of the great lengths women went to in order to gain the right to vote and the leaps and bounds we have taken in just over a hundred years. I highly recommend reading this. The women featured in these stories (some fictional and some real) will remind you why we need to keep fighting to make the world a more equitable and just place.”
