Now in paperback! Get immersed in the excitement and thrill of a country undergoing dramatic social and political change!

Look at photos and illustrations that put you right there, during a brilliantly planned and choreographed march and pageant demanding an amendment to the constitution of the United States! The Women’s March of 1913 was an incredible sight to behold: over five thousand suffragists marching, nine bands, four mounted brigades, twenty-six floats—all marching past 250,000 spectators. There was even a riot!
