The women’s suffrage movement was decades in the making and came with many harsh setbacks.

But it resulted in a permanent victory: women’s legal right to vote in the United States. How did the suffragists do it? Just over one hundred years later, an eye-opening look at their playbook shows familiar strategies from women’s marches to publicity stunts, petitions to lobbying, fundraising to writing articles.

From moments of inspiration to some of the movement’s darker aspects—including the racism of some suffragist leaders, violence against picketers, and hunger strikes in jail—this clear-eyed view takes in the role of key figures: Susan B. Anthony, Lucy Stone, Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Ida B. Wells, Alice Paul, and more.

Engagingly narrated by Lucinda Robb and Rebecca Boggs Roberts, whose friendship goes back generations (to their grandmothers, Lady Bird Johnson and Lindy Boggs, and their mothers, Lynda Robb and Cokie Roberts), this unique melding of history and tactics is sure to capture the attention of today’s activists-in-the-making.
