One City. One Movement. A World of Stories.
Stories from Suffragette City is a collection of short stories that all take place on a single day: October 23, 1915. It’s the day when tens of thousands of women marched up Fifth Avenue, demanding the right to vote in New York City. Thirteen of today's bestselling authors have taken this moment as inspiration to raise the voices of history and breathe fresh life into their struggles and triumphs.
The characters depicted here, some well-known, others unfamiliar, each inspire and reinvigorate the power of democracy. We follow a young woman who is swept up in the protests when all she expected was to come sell her apples in the city. We see Alva Vanderbilt as her white-gloved sensibility is transformed over the course of the single fateful day. Ida B. Wells battles for racial justice in the women's suffrage movement so that every woman's voice can be heard. Each story stands on its own, but together Stories From Suffragette City becomes a symphony, painting a portrait of a country looking for a fight and ever restless for progress and equality.

Finished today, the 106th anniversary of NYC‘s Votes for Women March. Twelve slightly connected short stories by twelve authors commemorating this march and the women, young & old, college students, rich, & shop girls, white, Black, & immigrants, and their male allies, who marched together for women‘s suffrage. Well worth a read.

I feel like I read more this week, though not as much as usual, so this is the only book for this week‘s #BookReport

kspenmoll This sounds great!!! 3y
Cinfhen Totally agree @kspenmoll I love the map 3y

This book, released last October, was not on my radar, and not on my tbr this month. But serendipitously, I ran across it yesterday just in time to read a story a day of the 13 stories and end just after the anniversary of the historic Women‘s March for votes in NYC 106 years ago. I‘m not a lover of short stories, but between the topic and the amazing authors, I have high hopes for this one!

Hubby: “I‘ve got to finish a major project for my grad class before tomorrow, so you‘ll be on your own today.”
Me: “Don‘t worry, I‘m sure I‘ll find something to keep myself busy.”
