Finish the Fight!: The Brave and Revolutionary Women Who Fought for the Right to Vote

A New York Times bestseller!  Who was at the forefront of women's right to vote? We know a few famous names, like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, but what about so many others from diverse backgrounds-black, Asian, Latinx, Native American, and more-who helped lead the fight for suffrage?
