SUMMARY:Suffrage in the Land of Lincoln: How Illinois Women Won the Vote
DESCRIPTION:Women fought for nearly 65 years to be enfranchised in Illinois. From the founding of the first woman suffrage society in the state in 1855 to 1919 when Illinois became the first state to approve the 19th Amendment\, thousands of women dedicated their lives to winning a right that was automatically granted to most men at age 21. Join USA Today bestselling author Nicole Evelina for a trip through time as she discusses the highs and lows of the Illinois Suffrage movement. Along the way\, you’ll meet amazing women such as organizer Susan Hoxie Richardson\, educator Prudence Crandall\, activist Ellen Martin\, Illinois’ first female elected official Lucy Flower and many more. \nNicole Evelina is a USA Today bestselling novelist\, biographer and poet\, who lives in South Bend\, Indiana. She writes historical fiction\, non-fiction\, and women’s fiction and her books have won more than 50 awards\, including four Book of the Year designations. \nRegistration is required due to limited space.
