Lifting As We Climb: Black Women's Battle For The Ballot Box

"Evette Dionne’s book spotlights women we don’t hear enough about in the suffrage movement. Many Black women were instrumental in national and local pushes to guarantee voting for all Americans. The book is designed to look like a textbook by showcasing photographs, original documents and breakout sections with short biographies. It appeals to readers 10 and older, as well as adults who want to discover more about the lives of Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Mary McLeod Bethune and Anna Julia Cooper, among others. Reading this book can help add more context to political movements of the past, and today, in the U.S."
