Description: She put in her work but there's so much left to do. Begun in the Antebellum era the song of suffrage was a rallying cry across the nation that would persist over a century. Capturing the spirit of this refrain New Yorker contributing cartoonist Caitlin Cass pens a sweeping history of women's suffrage in the U. S. - a kaleidoscopic story akin to a triumphant and mournful protest song that spans decades and echoes into the present. In Suffrage Song Cass takes a critical intersectional approach to the movement's history - celebrating the pivotal hard - fought battles for voting rights while also laying bare the racist compromises suffrage leaders made along the way. She explores the multigenerational arc of the movement humanizing key historical figures from the early days of the suffrage fight (Susan B. Anthony Frances Watkins Harper) to the dawn of the New Women (Alice Paul Mary Church Terrell) to the Civil Rights era (Fannie Lou Hamer Ella Baker). Additionally this book sheds light on less chronicled figures such as Zitkala - Sa and Mabel Ping Hua - Lee whose stories reveal the complex racial dynamics that haunt this history. Impeccably researched and rendered in an engaging and accessible comics style Suffrage Song is sure to spark discussion on the vital issue of voting rights that continues to resonate today.
