In The Voice That Won the Vote: How One Woman’s Words Made History, Emmy-winning journalist and Maine native Elisa Boxer tells the little-known story of a mother, a son, and a handwritten note that led to one of the nation's biggest wins for women's rights...
In August 1920, women's suffrage in America came down to Tennessee. If the state legislature approved the 19th Amendment, it would be ratified, giving all women the right to vote. The historic moment hinged on one legislator, who tipped the scale toward equality because of a letter from his mother. This children’s picture book tells the true story of that letter, which finally gave all American women their voice.
The book’s release in 2020 is timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the passage of women’s suffrage. As a bonus, when you order The Voice That Won the Vote, in addition to a signed, personalized copy of the book, we’ll also send you this collector’s item: a 1-inch enamel yellow rose pin. Yellow roses were the symbol of suffrage, and are featured prominently in the book.
