Women’s Votes, Women’s Voices
The Campaign for Equal Rights in Washington
by Shanna Stevenson
One Hundred years ago, women in Washington State won the right to vote. Women’s Votes, Women’s Voices by Shanna Stevenson tells the story of the women who, in 1910, fought, spoke out, and organized to pass an amendment to the State Constitution giving women permanent voting rights—a full ten years before the United States would do the same. But we know the battle didn’t end there, and this compelling book also details women’s continuing struggle for equal rights over the past century—from advocating for the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920 to current struggles to achieve equality in education, politics, and the workplace.
