Illustrated by
Malene Laugesen.
A girl narrates the story of her mother's crusade for women's suffrage: Mama leads parades, pickets the White House, and goes to jail for the cause. The text of Karr's fictional story is lively and engaging; chalky pastel illustrations capture the feel of the era and highlight the drama of the struggle. A brief note summarizes the history of women's suffrage in America.
